Hellim

Halloumi or haloumi[note 1][note 2] is a cheese that is thought to have originated from Cyprus, though some contest that it originated in Egypt. It is made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk, and sometimes also cow's milk. Its texture is described as squeaky. It has a high melting point and so can easily be fried or grilled, a property that makes it a popular meat substitute. Rennet is used to curdle the milk in halloumi production, although no acid-producing bacteria are used in its preparation. Halloumi is popular throughout the Eastern Mediterranean. By 2013, demand in the United Kingdom had surpassed that in every other European country except Cyprus.
