Halloumi vs. Saganaki — What's the Difference?

Halloumi or haloumi (Greek: Χαλλούμι) () is a semi-hard, unripened cheese made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk, and sometimes also cow's milk. It has a high melting point and so can easily be fried or grilled, a property that makes it a popular meat substitute.
