Primasoy Tempeh

Primasoy is a family owned company producing organic tempeh since 2005. Their tempeh is made in Melbourne and distributed throughout Australia. Their passion for tempeh stems from their desire to replicate the food they grew up with in their home town; Malang, Indonesia. Like many homes in Indonesia, tempeh has always been a part of our family’s lunch and dinner table.

They have been dedicated to refining the production of tempeh, following traditional Indonesian techniques to create a product which is true to its origin. They use Australian Certified Organic soy beans, which are sourced locally and harvested using sustainable farming practices.

Tempeh is a highly nutritious soy product which is very popular in its country of origin, Indonesia. It is thought to have originated from Central and East Java over two thousand years ago, following contact with Chinese traders who were experimenting at the time with various wild moulds when producing soy sauce. The method was adapted to Indonesian tastes and climate, and today over 64% of Indonesia’s soybean production is made into tempeh.
Traditionally, tempeh was made in a small village shop using the most basic equipment. Tempeh artisans were able to supply tempeh wrapped in banana leaves in the village market, providing the community with a fresh, versatile and very nutritious food.
