Halloum Cheese

Halloumi Cheese, or Jibneh Halloum (جبنة حلوم), is a beloved cheese native to the Eastern Mediterranean, known for its high melting point, savory flavor, and satisfying chew. At Al-Wady, we craft our Halloumi from pasteurized cow’s milk, using a perfected recipe that ensures authentic taste and grilling performance.

Ingredients:

  • Pasteurized cow’s milk

  • Salt

  • Rennet (enzyme)

  • Mint leaves (optional, for traditional style)

Taste & Texture:

Halloumi has a dense, semi-hard texture and a mild, salty, slightly tangy flavor. When grilled or pan-fried, it becomes golden and crispy on the outside while remaining firm and chewy inside — making it a standout in salads, sandwiches, or as a meat alternative.

Health Benefits:

  • High in protein – supports satiety and muscle maintenance

  • Rich in calcium & phosphorus – promotes strong bones and teeth

  • Low-carb & keto-friendly – suitable for many diets

  • Gluten-free and vegetarian – made without starch or fillers

  • Can be grilled without melting – unique among cheeses
