Organic Tofu and Broccoli Cream

Produced and packaged by hand, with 70% tofu and 10% broccoli

Velvety and tasty, 100% plant-based: the spreadable cream that everyone agrees on

Otani Organic Tofu and Broccoli Cream

Tofu on its own is a blank canvas: delicate, neutral, ready to take on the character of its companion. Here, the accompaniment is intelligently chosen—broccoli, shoyu, capers, wine vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil—and the result is a velvety spreadable cream with a full, savory flavor, where the vegetal note of broccoli meets the umami of shoyu and the salty hint of capers. It's a completely plant-based product, handcrafted and packaged with 70% tofu and 10% broccoli: no thickeners, no flavorings, no preservatives. Ready to use, just open the jar and spread.
 
 
 

The roots of this cream are rooted in sea water

In the list of ingredients there is a word that almost no one recognizes: niggersIt's the coagulant used to make traditional Japanese tofu, and it's nothing more than what's left of seawater after the salt has been extracted—a solution rich in magnesium chloride. Poured into warm soy milk, it does exactly what rennet does with milk: it separates the solids from the liquid, and from there comes the curd, which, when pressed, becomes tofu. Tofu has over two thousand years of history, originating in China and spreading throughout the East thanks in part to Buddhist monasteries, where vegetarian diets made it a daily staple. Using nigari instead of faster-setting chemical coagulants is a distinctive artisanal choice: it produces a tofu with a sweeter flavor and a finer consistency, the ideal base for a cream.
 
 
 

Choosing Tofu and Broccoli Cream means taking care of yourself

Soy is one of the few plant-based sources that provides all the essential amino acids, and tofu makes it available in a digestible and versatile form, also providing calcium, iron, and magnesium—the latter enriched by nigari. Broccoli adds fiber, vitamin C, and the sulfur compounds typical of cruciferous vegetables. It's a completely plant-based product, making it suitable for vegans or vegetarians, as well as anyone who wants to alternate protein sources throughout the week without sacrificing flavor. All ingredients are organic.

Food container

Store in the refrigerator and consume within a few days of opening, always scooping with a clean, dry teaspoon. Since this is an artisanal product made with fresh tofu, without preservatives, it doesn't tolerate high temperatures and must be kept refrigerated at all times. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes: the cream will soften and be easier to spread.
