This gives halloumi cheese its signature squeaky bite when eaten, making it perfect for grilled halloumi, fried halloumi cheese, halloumi fries, halloumi chips, and other popular halloumi recipes.
Soaking halloumi cheese is optional, but can be useful before grilling or frying it:

Reduce Saltiness
A short soak in water or milk helps mellow the naturally briny flavour of halloumi. If you enjoy its salty kick, you can skip this step entirely.

Prevent Burning
Rinsing or soaking adds moisture that helps avoid scorching when making any grilled halloumi recipe.
