Reculture Foods

La Cocina Business Incubator alums, Feby and Melati are two Indonesian-American friends and tempeh makers based in the Bay Area.

Reculture bridges their homes  in California and their ancestral land – a magical archipelago, where jungle, volcanic rocks, and city concrete always meet the sea. Reculture’s co-owners, are dedicated to the craft of tempeh while reframing the story of an often misunderstood food.

Indonesian food is their way to connect to a faraway yet very personal land.

After a fruitless search to find authentic Indonesian-style tempe(h) in the US, they started making our own for friends and family in a small bread proofer. In 2023, Reculture Foods came to life as the communities’ interests grew: their tempeh is umami-filled, nutty, and addicting – entirely different from what you find in most grocery stores!

In 2024, we joined the La Cocina Business Incubator in SF to grow their impact and stay rooted in what matters: creating community and sharing thoughtfully made tempeh.
