Halloumi cheese
A kind of cheese · also called Hellim, Haloumi
About
Halloumi is a dense, semi-hard cheese from Cyprus that packs about 9.2 ounces (260 g) into a single cup.
With a density of about 9.2 ounces per cup (1.1 g/mL), halloumi is compact enough to sink in fresh water. Because of its firm curd structure, it takes up less space for its weight than looser cheeses like shredded cheddar. A standard commercial block weighing 8.8 ounces (250 g) occupies just under one cup of volume. This tight consistency helps the cheese keep its shape on the grill rather than melting away.
From Wikipedia
Halloumi, or haloumi, is a type of dairy product made with milk originating from Cyprus. It is traditionally made from a mixture of goat milk and sheep's milk; however, due to lower cost of cow's milk and price sensitivity of consumers, modern halloumi increasingly contains cow's milk.
