Halloumi cheese is a Greek grilling cheese and it is unique in nature in that it maintains its shape during the frying or grilling process and doesn’t melt as regular types of cheeses do. It normally is made with a mix of sheep and goat’s milk, but sometimes you can find a brand that has cow’s milk added. The texture is firm and the taste is quite salty. Another type of Greek grilling cheese that is not as salty taht I love is Kasseri. See our recipe Brushetta with Kasseri Cheese. The type of balsamic vinegar that I am using can be purchased at large specialty grocery stores or on-line at Sonoma Farm. I highly recommend this type because of its fantastic flavor and is thick and smooth so it will hug the cheese.
