Pasteurized Milk (usually a combination of sheep's milk, goat's milk, and sometimes cow's milk) | Salt | Rennet (a coagulating enzyme) These ingredients are standard for traditional halloumi cheese production. The combination of different milks contributes to the unique flavor and texture of halloumi, while salt is essential for flavor enhancement and preservation. Rennet is used to curdle the milk during the cheese-making process, helping to form the characteristic semi-hard texture of halloumi. It's important to check the specific packaging or product label for any additional ingredients or variations.

Pan-Frying: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Slice the Halloumi Chefmate Folded into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick slices. Add a small amount of olive oil or butter to the pan (optional, depending on your preference). Place the slices in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking. | Grilling: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Slice the Halloumi Chefmate Folded into similar thickness slices. Lightly brush each slice with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill the slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the cheese is heated through. Serve immediately while hot. | Barbecuing: Preheat the barbecue grill to medium-high heat. Follow similar steps as grilling, brushing olive oil on both sides of the Halloumi slices. Place the slices directly on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until grill marks form and the cheese is heated thoroughly. | Baking: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place Halloumi Chefmate Folded slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cheese is lightly golden and has a slightly crispy exterior. | Salads and Wraps: Halloumi Chefmate Folded can also be enjoyed without cooking, simply sliced and added to salads or wrapped in flatbreads or tortillas with vegetables and sauces. Side Dish or Appetizer: Serve cooked Halloumi Chefmate Folded as a standalone appetizer or alongside grilled vegetables, olives, and fresh herbs.
