Back in the mid-80’s, restaurants, wholesalers and just about every other company in the food industry wished that someone would come along and provide top quality dairy products nationwide, while offering great prices and unwavering consistency. In 1985 such a company finally emerged. That company was DARIFAIR® FOODS, INC.. Chartered as America's first "national" dairy supplier, Darifair was an instant success. In the years to follow, lots of competition would come and go but Darifair remained an industry leader recognized for high-value dairy items, great service and a dedication to innovation. Today, Darifair continues to grow and pioneer. In just the last few years, the company has expanded it's product line to include culinary items, introduced revolutionary products like Identi-cal Plus Cream Replacer and has just moved to an expanded headquarters featuring a cutting-edge research kitchen.
