Cleveland Tofu has been making tofu since 1976, using a recipe that has stayed the same through changes in ownership. The company works with Ohio-grown soybeans and prepares tofu fresh, to order, for shops, restaurants, and other kitchens.

The process starts by soaking, grinding, and cooking the soybeans into soy milk. After coagulation, the tofu is pressed into large blocks, cut by hand, and packed, with water, soybeans, calcium sulfate, and nigari making up the ingredient list.

Put it to work in a stir-fry, add it to a bowl of rice and vegetables, or use it in a recipe you already like. If tofu is new to your kitchen, start with one meal rather than a whole new way of cooking.
