When he was a boy growing up in France, Jeff Aziakou very much enjoyed the European tradition of having a little something sweet at the end of a meal. After he moved to the U.S., though, he had a hard time finding those wee sweets, but he didn’t much feel like baking a whole cake, pie, or other treat himself every time he felt like a post-meal indulgence.
Instead, he thought back to the desserts in jars he’d enjoyed as a youngster, and soon Dimi was born. The refrigerated line of single-serve desserts is just getting started, but the Black-owned business has plans to bring those sweet little somethings to a larger market.
