What You Should Know

You'd spot this 8 oz tub of GOPI paneer in the refrigerated dairy or ethnic foods section, grabbed when planning curries, grilling, or a simple cheese plate. It gives a wholesome, nostalgic, homemade vibe — mild, firm and slightly crumbly, ready to fry, cube, or crumble into dishes. The very short ingredient list (pasteurized whole milk and vinegar) and lack of additives indicate an acid‑coagulated fresh cheese with minimal industrial reformulation, not an ultra‑processed formulation.
