By making tempeh in small batches and serving it just days after fermentation, our tempeh has a far more flavorful taste and softer texture than the bitter, dryness of regular store-bought soy-based tempeh. No need to steam and overcook to get rid of that packaged bitter taste - our tempeh is fresh and ready to be cooked (although it can be kept in a fridge for up to a week and in a freezer for months).
