Halloumi is an ancient cheese from the Mediterranean. One of its earliest mentions is in a 14th century Egyptian cookbook. This one is made in Cyprus of blended cow, goat, and sheep milk. Still produced in small batches, the curds are hand-filled into individual molds and turned by hand. After being hand-folded into a rectangular shape, each cheese gets a sprinkling of local mint, per tradition.
