Halloumi (/həˈlmi/), challoumi (Greek: χαλλούμι [xaˈlumi], challoúmi)[1] or hellim (Turkish: hellim)[2] is a semi-hard, unripened, brined cheese made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk, and sometimes also cow's milk.[3][4][5][6] It has a high melting point and so can easily be fried or grilled. Rennet is used to curdle the milk in halloumi production[7], although no acid-producing bacteria are used in its preparation.[8]

Halloumi is popular throughout the region broadly known as the Levant.[9][10] Demand in the United Kingdom surpassed that in every other European country, except Cyprus, by 2013.[11]

Etymology

The name "halloumi" is derived from the Egyptian Arabic, itself a loanword from Coptic ϩⲁⲗⲱⲙ halom (Sahidic) and ⲁⲗⲱⲙ alom (Bohairic) 'cheese', referring to a cheese that was eaten in medieval Egypt.[12][13] In modern Egypt, hâlûmi is similar to Cypriot "halloumi" but is essentially a different cheese,[clarification needed] is eaten either fresh or brined and spiced.

Grilled Halloumi cheese

Halloumi cheese originated in Cyprus[9] in the Medieval Byzantine period (AD 395 – 1191),[14] and was subsequently eaten throughout the Middle East. Cypriot farmers relied on halloumi as a source of protein and in many villages the entire community would join forces and make huge batches together. Recipes varied from village to village, with each taking great pride in their special technique and secret ingredients. Halloumi became so important to village life that even the surnames of many Greek Cypriot families reflect their role in halloumi production, with names such as Hallumas, Halluma and Hallumakis common by the 19th century.

The cheese is white, with a distinctive layered texture, similar to mozzarella and has a salty flavour. It is stored in its natural juices. It is commonly garnished with mint, a practice based on the fact that halloumi keeps better and stays fresher and more flavoursome when wrapped with mint leaves.[citation needed] In accordance with this tradition, some packages of halloumi contain fragments of mint leaves on the surface of the cheese.

The cheese is often used in cooking and can be fried until brown without melting, owing to its higher-than-normal melting point. This makes it (like saganaki) an excellent cheese for frying or grilling or fried and served with vegetables, or as an ingredient in salads. Cypriots like eating halloumi with watermelon in the warm months, and as halloumi and lountza, a combination of halloumi cheese and either a slice of smoked pork, or a soft lamb sausage.[citation needed]

The resistance to melting comes from the fresh curd being heated before being shaped and placed in brine.[15] Traditional halloumi is a semicircular shape, about the size of a large wallet, weighing 220–270 g. The fat content is approximately 25% wet weight, 47% dry weight with about 17% protein. Its firm texture when cooked causes it to squeak on the teeth when being chewed.[16]

Traditional halloumi is made from unpasteurised sheep and goat milk. Many people also like halloumi that has been aged; kept in its brine, it is much drier, much stronger and much saltier, making it very different from the milder halloumi generally used in the West.

Halloumi is registered as a protected Cypriot product within the United States (since the 1990s) but not yet in the European Union. The delay in registering the name halloumi with the EU has been largely due to a conflict between dairy producers and sheep and goat farmers as to whether registered halloumi may contain cow’s milk, and how much.[17][18] Most Cypriots agree that, traditionally, halloumi was made from sheep and goat milk, since there were few cows on the island until they were brought over by the British in the 20th century. But as demand grew, industrial cheese-makers began using more of the cheaper and more-plentiful cow's milk.[19]

Halloumi has been a source of the island's north-south divide, where following the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus's applications to register halloumi and hellim as a protected designation of origin (PDO) product with the European Commission was based on the “impossible idea” that Greek inspectors – who cannot visit the north – could check that Turkish producers were meeting EC standards. [20] This resulted in the north calling the PDO “flawed” and expressing “frustration” at the EC's failure to provide any verdict on the PDO application that London's Foreign Affairs office said must “ensure that its decision takes due account of inter-community relations”, an aim that was not met. [21] This exacerbates the view that the application was not being regarded as a joint national product important to both communities; it belongs to the entire Cypriot community – all of Cyprus; this is where it was created; they make the real hellim; but to the North this is not what the South was pushing for, it was argued, they were not upholding their duty as Cypriots in Cyprus to protect this product.

Middle East

Halloumi is regularly consumed in many parts of the Levant. It is a traditional component of the Levantine breakfast, eaten either fresh or fried, along with other dishes such as hummus, falafel, and khubz. Halloumi cheese is very similar to Nablusi cheese, named after Nablus, Palestine, its city of origin. Some believe[weasel words] that halloumi cheese is of Levantine creation, due to its similarity to Nablusi cheese and the region's long history of consuming halloumi cheese. Halloumi in Israel is sometimes fried in olive oil and served for breakfast and served with meze. It is also eaten with fish.
