Organic, Handmade Tofu: 1kg Block

Handmade in small batches in Malton, North Yorkshire, by an independent family business that has been making tofu since 1980. Clearspot tofu follows a traditional Japanese recipe and is pressed in muslin cloth for an extra-firm texture. The 1kg block is a great way to stock up if you cook with tofu often, whether you're feeding a household or running a kitchen. We use this in our kitchen for our 'bacon' for the BLT and the 'satay tofu' for our Banh Mi!

Made with just three natural ingredients: organic soya beans, water and nigari. Enjoy it hot or cold, marinated, fried or baked. Its delicate, subtle flavour works in main dishes, soups, salads, dressings, dips and even desserts.

Why you'll love it

• Organic, with all products accredited by the Soil Association
• GM free
• Suitable for vegetarians and vegans
• High in protein, gluten free and wheat free
• No additives, preservatives, emulsifiers or stabilisers, and no artificial flavours or colours
• Set with nigari, the natural liquid left after sea salt is extracted from sea water, rather than calcium sulphate
• Pasteurised to increase shelf life and reduce food waste
• Can be eaten cold straight from the pack

Made by hand
The organic soya beans are cooked and blended into soya milk, then nigari is gently stirred in to form the curd. The curd is scooped into a muslin-lined settling box, topped with a pressing lid and a heavy weight, and left to rest until it reaches just the right firmness. Because it's made in small batches by hand, you may notice natural variation in texture and appearance, but the taste is always guaranteed.

Where the beans come from
Clearspot's soya beans are always organic, GM free and sustainably sourced, and certified by the Soil Association. They come from Canada and Italy, and never from areas that lead to deforestation.

Things to check before you publish (please don't paste this section into the listing):

• Shelf life and chilled storage: The Clearspot site gives no shelf life or "keep refrigerated" instruction, only the opened and freezing guidance. Please add the date info and storage instructions from your supplier or the label, as it matters for a chilled product.
• Smoked sea salt: The site lists sea salt in the Smoked but no allergens beyond soya, so the allergen line is just soya as supplied.
• Packaging: The supplier says the cardboard is recyclable but the film isn't currently, and that they use thermoform plastic. I haven't made any "plastic free" or "recyclable" claim. Check whether the 1kg is packed differently.
• Wholesale terms: I couldn't find 1kg-specific details, such as how many blocks come per case or whether it's a catering pack. If you're selling by the block, check the unit and pricing are clear, and whether you need a "chilled delivery" note.
• Nutrition per serving: I used per 100g only. The site also gives a 70g serving if you'd like it.
• Tone and brand: I've kept the wording factual and close to the supplier's. Say if you'd like it more in your Lemon & Jinja voice.
• Permission: I've drawn closely on Clearspot's website wording. You're a stockist so it's likely fine, but it's worth confirming they're happy for you to reuse their text.

I can also write a short version for a shelf label or newsletter, or separate listings for Original and Smoked.
