The Story of Sach Foods and Paneer Cheese

Episode Summary

Jasleen and Tarush Agarwal, first generation immigrants from India who met and married in California, could not find a Paneer that wasn't highly processed or tasted anything close to what they enjoyed growing up. So Jasleen started making her own. A couple of years later, they started Sach Foods to bring organic, high protein, great tasting Paneer to the US market. Tarush joins us for a conversation about the role this singular cheese plays in Indian cuisine and vegetarian diets, the experience of starting a food business, and the marketing approach to introduce Sach Paneer to American consumers.
