Milbona Halloumi PDO

Milbona Halloumi PDO is a traditional Cypriot cheese specifically manufactured in Cyprus to comply with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) regulations, which mandate that halloumi must be produced on the island using specific methods and ingredients (typically a mix of goat and sheep milk).

Milbona is a private-label dairy brand created for and owned by Lidl, a major German international discount retailer. While the brand itself is associated with German retail distribution, the production of this specific product happens in Cyprus via specialized local dairy producers to maintain its PDO status. The ultimate owner of the brand is the Schwarz Group, a multi-national retail group headquartered in Neckarsulm, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
