At Bonobono, we love celebrating passionate artisans like Linda, the mastermind behind Impulse Foods, who has dedicated her life to crafting exceptional tempeh.
With a deep interest in vegetarianism and nutrition, Linda discovered tempeh in the 1980s and knew she had found something special. In 1989, she set up Impulse Foods, making small batches of tempeh in a tiny workshop in Bristol, supplying just a handful of customers. From those humble beginnings, Linda’s dedication has grown her business year by year, bringing authentic tempeh to the UK market.
For over thirty years, Linda and her team have stayed true to traditional methods, using the whole bean in a natural pre-fermentation process that’s kept Impulse Foods at the heart of genuine tempeh making. Unlike mass-produced brands that have recently jumped on the plant-based bandwagon, Linda’s focus has always been on quality. Tempeh has finally made it into the mainstream, but there’s no mistaking the difference between handcrafted, organic tempeh like Impulse's and the mass-market alternatives.
Now, Impulse Foods proudly supplies the entire UK with their tempeh, staying committed to 100% organic, vegan, GMO-free, and naturally gluten-free products. At Bonobono, we believe that their dedication to authenticity and quality aligns perfectly with our mission to showcase the finest plant-based foods. Taste the difference, and you’ll see why Impulse is the best tempeh you can buy.
