04 — ORIGIN

Where itbegins.

Every bottle starts at a small farm in western Rajasthan, among the indigenous cows of this land. The farm is the first entry in its record.

Most of our milk comes from families who keep two to six cows. Buying from them directly is how DESIGO® supports the farms that keep these breeds alive.
