15.01.2022 Forget all you know about tofu with Tasmania's Tofu Company, Soyoyoy Foods - dispelling tofu myths one delicious mouthful at a time. Their delicate, creamy tofu is made from Australian organic soybeans and fresh Tassie water - and is described, "as perfect as tofu made in Japan" by Japanese restaurateurs and individuals alike. It's also the 'cream' in their feta and brie style cheeses, adding velvety mouthfeels and premium flavours. It takes their rich, decadent chocolate or matcha raspberry mousses to next level luxe. SOYOYOY's modern tofu products are for all Tasmanians. Catch them again this year at VeganFest 2020! #tofu #tasmaniantofu #vegan #veganmousse #tofumousse #vegancheese #veganfest #veganfesttas #tasmanianmade #southerntasmania
