Organic Natural Tofu Monastery

Organic Plain Tofu is the purest and most essential product in plant-based cuisine: only organic yellow soybeans, water, and nigari, the traditional natural marine coagulant used for millennia in Asia to curdle soy milk. No additives, no preservatives, no industrial shortcuts. The result is an artisanal tofu with a firm and creamy texture, a neutral and delicately vegetal flavor, perfect for customizing with marinades, spices, and different cooking methods: a true blank canvas on which to create recipes from culinary traditions around the world. Vacuum-packed to preserve freshness and nutrients, it is a versatile ally in the kitchen and a precious source of complete plant-based proteins.
 
 
 

The roots of this Tofu are deep in tradition

Tofu originated in China over two thousand years ago: legend attributes its invention to Prince Liu An during the Han Dynasty, around the 2nd century BC. It quickly spread to Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, becoming a staple and a defining food, treasured in homes and Buddhist monasteries, which, committed to respecting animal life, made it a cornerstone of their plant-based diet. The coagulation technique with nigari, a magnesium chloride-rich salt obtained from evaporated seawater, is the most traditional and noble, giving tofu a firm texture and a clean flavor, unlike industrial versions made with chemical coagulants. This ancient tradition is now being re-appreciated around the world.
 
 
 

Choosing Organic Natural Tofu means taking care of yourself.

Tofu is a nutritionally extraordinary food: 16,5 grams of complete plant-based protein per 100 grams, containing all essential amino acids. Soy is also rich in isoflavones, natural compounds valued for their hormone-modulating effect, particularly beneficial during menopause. With 9,8 grams of mostly unsaturated fat, it is a good source of heart-healthy lipids. Virtually carbohydrate-free (only 0,7g) and very low in salt (0,1g), it is a great ally for glycemic control and for those watching their sodium intake. Choosing organic soy ensures non-GMO and pesticide-free soy: a purity you can taste in every bite.
