Dharwad Peda
Product USP
A melt-in-the-mouth Karnataka delicacy, crafted from slow-cooked milk solids, sugar, and a gentle hint of cardamom — delivering a caramelised richness and grainy texture that’s as nostalgic as it is indulgent.
History of the Product + Ingredients
Originating from the historic town of Dharwad in Karnataka, Dharwad Peda has been a cherished sweet for over a century. Traditionally prepared by simmering fresh milk for hours until it thickens into khoya, this artisanal mithai is known for its unique caramelised flavour and crumbly-yet-soft bite. Our version stays true to its heritage — made with pure cow’s milk, sugar, and cardamom, shaped into rustic pedas, and dusted lightly for a signature finish. Each bite is a taste of India’s sweet-making legacy.
Shelf Life
Best enjoyed within 7 days from the date of preparation. Store in a cool, dry place for optimal freshness and flavour.
