Europe, SEA, and MENA Halloumi Cheese Market Definition
Halloumi cheese is originated in Cyprus and is semi-hard and unripened. Though some varieties might also include cow's milk, it is typically made from a combination of sheep and goat milk. The firm, chewy texture, and tangy flavor are its key characteristics.
In Cyprus, it has been a distinctive food component for many years, and its popularity has recently risen again. In recent times, it can be found in most supermarket cheese sections and is frequently found on the menus of Greek restaurants. Its melting point is higher than that of many other kinds of cheese, so it can be baked, grilled, or fried without losing its shape. Due to this, it is frequently served cooked, which enhances its distinctively salty flavor and gives it a slightly crispy exterior. In keeping with a centuries-old tradition, it is made with sheep and goat milk.
