Archaeologists have discovered several blocks of Halloumi cheese dating back 2,600 years in clay pots in an ancient tomb in the Saqqara necropolis in Egypt. Halloumi is a traditional Cypriot cheese with a high melting point made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk, and sometimes cow's milk. A researcher said ancient Egyptians referred to Halloumi cheese as 'Haram'.
