A super versatile plant-based protein made from soya beans curd. Tofu has a subtle flavour which lends itself to a variety of dishes. Our Tofoo is handmade with just 3 natural ingredients: water, soya beans and nigari (an extract of sea water).

No, it’s not ‘Satan’! But you can call it that if you want. However if you want to be a know-it-all, the proper way to pronounce it is either ‘say-tan’ or ‘say-tawn’.
In 2015, husband and wife David Knibbs and Lydia Smith bought a small artisan tofu business in Malton, North Yorkshire which had been run by Ron, a Vegan and absolute student of making the best tofu from a traditional Japanese recipe. Their vision was to launch an exciting new, tofu brand using this fantastic product to show that the world should love tofu. They wanted to create a fun and exciting brand that could be stocked within UK supermarkets and that made high quality handmade tofu accessible to all. In September 2016, The Tofoo Co. was born. So, we’re starting a tofu revolution – one delicious meal at a time. Are you with us?
