Not many edible things fall into the category of being super delicious, and also go on to make dishes that are gluten free by industrial standards. The HALLOUMI is a delight that belongs to this very special category of food. Halloumi is a semi-hard cheese typically made from the milk of goats, sheep, or cows. Although it has been enjoyed for hundreds of years in Cyprus, it has recently surged in popularity and can now be found in grocery stores and restaurants around the world. We take immense pleasure in introducing it in Pakistan for the first time.

​

Because it has a higher melting point than most other types of cheese, it can be grilled or fried without losing its shape. For this reason, it is typically served cooked, which enhances its signature salty taste and makes it slightly crispy on the outside meanwhile maintaining that delightful gooeyness on the inside. However, it can also be grated as it is, to add an additional flavour, an additional texture to all your favorite pasta dishes and pizzas.

​

While halloumi’s nutritional profile can vary slightly based on how you prepare it, each serving provides a good amount of protein and calcium.

Calcium, in particular, plays a key role in muscle function, nerve transmission, bone health, and hormone secretion.

Also, protein is important for promoting proper growth and development, as well as supporting muscle growth, immune function, and weight control.

It must also be noted that this is the BEST type of cheese to incorporate in your daily KETO diet as it is very low in carbs.

Keep in mind that the fat and calorie content of each serving can increase if you fry halloumi or cook it in oil.
