Daio paneer is the best paneer I have had in the UK. All paneer you get in the UK is either very hard or rubbery and tasteless. Daio paneer is the softest paneer you can get and it's the only paneer similar to ones you get in India. It also really absorbs the flavor of curries you are cooking unlike other paneer options in the UK.

It's very smooth and makes lovely paneer paratha, bhurji and kalakand. Double packs inside a pack is great too.

Just starting out, and would love your contribution to building Daio. Doing a limited edition drop of stickers, tote bags and t-shirts.
I was just tired of hard, rubbery paneer. That’s genuinely how this started.
Every block I bought in the UK was the same: rubbery, dry, and nothing like what we grew up eating. So I started making my own at home. Soft, fresh, the way it’s actually supposed to be.
I shared it with a local store, people liked it, then they came back for more. That was enough. Daio was born.
The goal is simple: take the staples of the South Asian diaspora and make them properly — with the best ingredients, no shortcuts, and no compromises. We’re starting with paneer because that’s where the gap was obvious.
P.S. If you’re wondering — why Daio? It means “nice” in Gujarati and “king” in Japanese. The latter half was a coincidence.
Independent first, then big retail
Daio has grown with the support of the independent retail stores around London. They are the backbone of the diaspora, offering groceries at reasonable prices and often, have served local communities for generations. They were a prime incubator as we started our journey.
