Halloumi cheese originated in Cyprus and was initially made during the Medieval Byzantine period (AD 395 – 1191), subsequently gaining popularity throughout the Middle East region. The name halloumi is probably derived from an Egyptian Arabic loanword from Coptic halum meaning cheese, and it is believed to have been eaten in ancient Egypt. In modern Egypt, hâlûmi, which is similar to Cypriot halloumi but is essentially a different cheese, is eaten either fresh or brined and spiced.
