Homemade Halloumi Cheese

I am going to be honest, I had never even heard of halloumi cheese before. It is a soft, unripened cheese that is usually brined. The process to make halloumi is relatively simple and only requires milk, and a little rennet; proper temperature monitoring, separating curds and whey, and pressing the cheese. The next day, you have relatively firm, tasty halloumi cheese. Halloumi is actually a good cheese for grilling - it holds up its shape enough but has a slightly melted texture that make sit great for hearty, grilled cheese sandwiches. It also has the ability to be crumbled like feta.
