A genuine product, made from a controlled organic supply chain that prioritizes the well-being of consumers and the environment.

The roots of this Pressed Tofu are deep in tradition

Tofu has a millennia-old history, rooted in ancient China and later refined in Japan, where it became a staple of Buddhist monks' diets for its nutritional properties and purity. The "pressed" version was originally developed to preserve the product longer and make it easier to transport, transforming it into a textured ingredient rich in character.

Otani Organic Tofu preserves this heritage in Montecompatri, bringing authentic Eastern wisdom to the context of Italian organic farming. The use of natural nigari, extracted from seawater, as a curdling agent is the secret to obtaining a superior tofu, rich in minerals and extremely digestible. Consuming this tofu means honoring an ancient ritual based on slow movements and essential ingredients, ennobled by a process that respects the integrity of the soybean.
