More to come in the Cheese thread of the year.

I thought that one was familiar ... Win for Lebanese cuisine!

It's great to be eaten raw, donno what you're talking about, really good with peach jam, or just with tomatoes if the raw Halloum is very salty. If you don't like extra salt, just keep it for an hour or two under the water, the cheese becomes sweeter and very tasty. That is actually my favorite kind of cheese.

We eat grilled Halloum every good morning ... or every day we have the time to grill them. If not, raw is the answer.
It's eatable in a dozen of different ways, it gets very different each time ... it's a pretty practical cheese.
