Halloumi is a fabulous semi-firm cheese from Cyprus and a favorite in Greek cooking. It's similar to mozzarella in texture, but it is brined so it imparts a salty taste and greater depth of flavor. This is an excellent grilling cheese because it doesn't melt. Halloumi slices will retain their shape when cooked, and the heat softens the rubbery (or "squeaky") cheese while mellowing the saltiness. Halloumi can be dry-fried in a hot frying pan or griddle pan to render the texture soft and stringy, and to make a caramelised crust on the outside.
