SriDairy Srivilliputhur Palkova

The name "Srivilliputhur Palkova" comes from its place of origin - Srivilliputhur, a small town in South Tamil Nadu, surrounded by the Western Ghats. The unique taste of this sweet comes from the skill of expert makers and the high-quality milk from nearby villages.

The secret behind its delicious taste? It’s made only with raw, fresh milk from native cows. Because of its special taste and tradition, Srivilliputhur Palkova received the Geographical Indication (GI) tag in 2019.

Simple Ingredients, Rich Taste
Made with just milk and sugar, this sweet gets its magic from the hands of skilled artisans. For over a century, it has been known as the "King of Sweets" because of its rich quality and authentic taste.

At Sri Dairy, we take pride in preserving this tradition. Working with government organizations like APEDA and the District Industries Center (DIC), we bring authentic GI-tagged Palkova to customers worldwide. As the largest producer of Srivilliputhur Palkova, we use MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) technology to ensure lasting freshness.

The Story Behind Srivilliputhur Palkova

Srivilliputhur, a temple town in Virudhunagar district at the foothills of the Western Ghats, has been making this milk sweet for over a century. The region's grasslands support dairy herds whose milk is naturally rich in fat and solids, this is the raw ingredient that gives authentic Srivilliputhur Palkova its dense, grainy texture and deep caramel colour, unlike the smoother khova made elsewhere in India.

In 2019, Srivilliputhur Palkova was awarded the Geographical Indication (GI) tag by the Government of India, officially recognizing that only palkova made in and around Srivilliputhur using local milk and traditional methods can carry this name. This protects both the authenticity of the sweet and the livelihoods of the dairy farmers and artisans who have kept the tradition alive.

How It's Made

Fresh cow's milk is slow-cooked in large open pans over a steady flame for several hours, with continuous stirring. As the water content evaporates, the milk solids concentrate and caramelize slightly, developing the signature grainy texture and rich flavour. A measured amount of sugar is added toward the end. No maida, no palm oil, no preservatives, and no artificial colours or flavours go into it — just milk and sugar, prepared the way it has been for generations.
