Halloumi is a traditional cheese originating from Cypriot villages, historically produced by shepherds using sheep's and goat's milk. To preserve the milk through hot seasons without refrigeration, the cheese was salted and layered with folded mint.
Over time, this preservation method evolved into a cultural staple in Cyprus, where the firm and salty cheese is now routinely served at tables, name-days, and village feasts.
