Desi Fresh Foods makes Indian-style dairy foods rooted in the homestyle dahi that inspired the company more than 20 years ago. Developed with an established Indian caterer after nearly a year of testing, its dahi uses a centuries-old fermentation method and became the brand’s signature product, now sold across the United States. The Farmingdale company has expanded that tradition into paneer and lassi while keeping its focus on familiar Desi flavors.
