Description Fairview Paneer Cheese p/kg Fairview Paneer Cheese (Price per kg) Product Overview Fairview Paneer is a traditional, unripened Indian-style cooking cheese produced in Paarl, South Africa. Unlike many European cheeses, Paneer is acid-set rather than rennet-set, which gives it a high melting point. This allows it to be cubed and added directly to hot curries or grilled on a braai without losing its shape. Made from 100% cow’s milk, Fairview’s version is known for its mild, milky profile and firm, dense texture. Market Pricing Reference (per kg) Fairview Paneer is most commonly found in 200g retail packs, but its “per kg” value is often used for bulk comparison. As of early 2026, the estimated pricing is as follows: Format Typical Weight Estimated Price per kg Retail Portion (e.g. Woolworths/PnP) 200g R285.00 – R340.00 Bulk Deli Block / Wholesaler 1kg R195.00 – R240.00 Note: Specialty flavored versions, such as the Cape Malay Spice Paneer (produced by Fairview for major retailers), often carry a slight premium over the plain variant. Key Features High-Heat Stability: Does not melt when heated. It can be deep-fried, pan-seared, or simmered in sauces, absorbing the flavors of the dish while remaining solid. Vegetarian-Friendly: Because it is set using acid (like lemon juice or vinegar) rather than animal rennet, it is a staple protein source for vegetarians. Clean Label: Fairview Paneer is generally free from additives, preservatives, and salt, making it a very “clean” dairy product. Medium Fat Content: Offers a lighter profile compared to aged cheeses like Cheddar, making it popular for health-conscious meal prep. Specifications Type: Unripened, non-melting heat-set cheese. Ingredients: Pasteurized Cow’s Milk, Citric Acid (or similar acidulant). Nutritional Highlights (per 100g): High in protein (approx. 18g–22g) and a significant source of calcium. Storage: Keep refrigerated. Once opened, store in an airtight container with a little water to prevent drying, and consume within 3–5 days. Ideal For Classic Indian Dishes: The essential ingredient for Paneer Butter Masala, Palak Paneer (spinach), and Mutter Paneer (peas). Braai Kebabs: Cube and thread onto skewers with peppers and red onion for a smoky, grilled vegetarian option. Salad Croutons: Pan-fry small cubes until golden and use them as high-protein, gluten-free “croutons” in a green salad. Breakfast Stir-frys: Crumble and scramble with turmeric, onions, and tomatoes (Paneer Bhurji) for a savory breakfast.
