Grilled Halloum Bites With Mediterranean Salsa

Did You Know? Halloum cheese traces its roots to the island of Cyprus, where it has been made for centuries. Traditionally, it was produced from a mix of goat and sheep milk. This unique characteristic makes halloum one of the few cheeses that can be grilled or pan-seared without melting.
