Rhizopus oligosporus – Tempeh Starter Liquid Culture 10ml

🍄 Tempeh Starter – Rhizopus oligosporus Liquid Culture

Rhizopus oligosporus is the filamentous fungus that has transformed cooked soybeans into tempeh for centuries—the protein-rich Indonesian fermented cake with a delicate, nutty flavour. This liquid culture delivers viable mycelium ready to launch your traditional fermentation and bring an ancient culinary art, now treasured worldwide as a plant-based protein source, into your kitchen.

🌱 What You Get

You will receive 10 ml of Rhizopus oligosporus liquid culture in a sterile vial, with high-vitality mycelium ready to inoculate your cooked legume substrate. Every vial is prepared with care in our Italian lab and shipped in protective packaging to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.

✨ Highlights

• Authentic tempeh strain: the classic fungus of Indonesian fermentation practised in Java for hundreds of years
• Vigorous mycelium: binds cooked soybeans (or other legumes) into compact, sliceable cakes with a mild taste
• Culinary versatility: perfect for stir-frying, grilling, marinating, and every creative plant-based recipe
• Easy inoculation: liquid format integrates quickly and evenly into sterile substrate
• Pure genetics: laboratory-grade culture maintained under strict sterile protocols
• Gourmet fermentation: a rewarding project for culinary enthusiasts and home fermenters

🔬 How to Use & Storage

Store the vial in a cool, dark place; refrigeration extends mycelium viability. Before use, gently agitate to distribute the mycelium evenly. Inoculate sterile, cooked legume substrate under clean conditions. Rhizopus oligosporus thrives at warm temperatures (28–32 °C) and ferments rapidly—tempeh is typically ready in 24–48 hours. Always follow proper fermentation techniques and hygiene.
