What to know about Country Delight Taaza Buffalo Paneer
Two-ingredient paneer, rich in protein and saturated fat
Country Delight Taaza Buffalo Paneer is a 180 g pack of fresh paneer made from two ingredients: buffalo milk and citric acid (INS 330) to set the curd. No percentages are declared, but there is nothing else in the list. It is bought by home cooks who want a plain, ready-to-cook paneer for curries, bhurji and grills.
The pack panel is printed per 90 g serve, and the pack holds two. One serve gives 261 kcal, 15.7 g protein, 21.1 g fat, 14.8 g saturated fat, 26 mg sodium and 459 mg calcium. Per 100 g that is 290 kcal, 17.44 g protein and 23.44 g fat, with no added sugar and no fibre.
The front says only Taaza Paneer, and the back states that Taaza is a brand name and not a description of the product. The ingredient list does say buffalo milk, which the retailer page names in the title but the pack front does not. CleanPlate scores it BA3.

01 Nutrition density: why B
Protein is 17.44 g per 100 g, about 24% of the calories, and it comes from buffalo milk. Calcium is 510 mg per 100 g, which adds a strong micronutrient bonus to the grade.
Fibre is 0 g, and there are no other vitamins or minerals declared. That is what keeps nutrition at a B rather than higher.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.
