Questions? We've Got You.

What is tempeh?

Tempeh is a traditional fermented food from Indonesia made from whole soyabeans. The beans are prepared and fermented until they bind together into a firm block with a distinctive mild, nutty flavour.

It can be sliced, marinated, fried, baked, grilled or crumbled into dishes.

Is tempeh the same as tofu?

No. Both are made from soya, but they are different foods. Tempeh is made using whole soyabeans and fermentation, giving it a firmer texture and distinctive nutty flavour.

How do I cook fresh tempeh?

You can pan-fry, bake, grill or air-fry tempeh. We recommend cooking it until golden and hot throughout.

Our Journey

Sometimes, the most meaningful journeys begin with a little curiosity. Mine began on a family holiday to Malaysia and Indonesia where I discovered tempeh crisps that delighted my daughter and her friend so much that I couldn't stop thinking about them. That simple moment sparked a journey to learn the art of tempeh-making and bring a little of Indonesia's food heritage to my home in Wales.

Calon means “heart” in Welsh, and that's what Calon Tempeh is all about: making good food with care, honouring tradition, and sharing something new with our community. From our small batches of fresh tempeh to our crispy tempeh snacks, every product carries a little of my journey, a love of good food, and a hope that you'll discover something wonderful too.

Made in Wales, inspired by Indonesia, and always made with heart.
