Halloumi Health Benefits: Protein, Calcium & More

At Papas Halloumi, we believe cheese should be more than just food, it should be made with love, passion, and tradition. As a family-run brand, every block of our halloumi is homemade with care, using authentic Cypriot methods that we’ve brought proudly to South Africa.

Yes, Papas Halloumi tastes incredible on the braai, in salads, or straight off the pan, but did you know it’s also full of nutritional goodness? From protein and calcium to minerals that support your body, here’s why Papas Halloumi isn’t just delicious, it’s also good for you.

1. A Protein Powerhouse

Protein is essential for building and repairing muscles, and Papas Halloumi is packed with it. Whether you’re vegetarian, active, or just looking for a satisfying snack, our homemade cheese delivers a protein boost made with love.

2. Rich in Calcium for Strong Bones

Calcium is the key to strong bones and healthy teeth. With Papas Halloumi, you’re not only getting authentic Cypriot flavour, but also a family-made cheese that supports your health with every bite.

4. A Perfect Vegetarian Option

For vegetarians, it’s not always easy to find high-protein foods that feel indulgent. Papas Halloumi is the answer. Our cheese grills like meat, squeaks with every bite, and is made with the same passion and care our family puts into everything we do.

Papas Halloumi isn’t just about protein and calcium. It’s also rich in other minerals like magnesium and zinc, which help keep your body strong and balanced. Every block we make is crafted with passion and packed with natural goodness.
