It only took years to become an overnight success.
You don’t start a revolution by doing the same as everyone else. So in 2015, husband and wife team David and Lydia decided to rip up the rulebook and stick their tongue out at the tofu establishment. Here’s how it all went down:
2015
David and Lydia saw a gap in the tofu game no one was giving that block of white stuff much love. So, they hatched a plan to take over the (tofu) world. Mwa ha ha haaaa.
First job was designing the brand.
2016
David and Lydia begged, borrowed and blagged enough cash to buy a small artisan tofu business in Malton, which was already making the best organic tofu, to a traditional Japanese recipe. Handy!
After a year’s extensive research, brand building and schmoozing buyers, Naked and Smoked Tofoo hits the supermarkets. First major listings – Tesco in 2000 outlets & Ocado!
2017
Sainsbury, Waitrose and Co-op fall in love with Tofoo – they’re only human.
We join forces with Mob Kitchen to make some ridiculously tasty recipes – including tofu coated in crispy cornflour. Did somebody say game changer?
2018
Oriental Tofoo hits the shops.
We refit the factory and get ourselves a new shiny toy – a Japanese soy milk cooker which means twice the capacity, twice the joy!
2019
