At CONTEMPERHRARY our mission is to provide the world with delicious, all-natural, plant-based foods.
Our products are created on the basis of ancient fermentation techniques, combined with innovation and modern technology.
Used by top Michelin star restaurants in Denmark, our organic Nordic Tempeh and Bean Sauce are superior quality. Both won gold and best-in-class at Nordic Artisan Food Awards 2022.
Made in Denmark. Using only the best organic produce – legumes, grains and seaweed – all grown in Nordics.
Our founders are Sabine and Tobias Harboe. While living in Bali, Indonesia, they learned the craft of making tempeh. Returning to Denmark, they applied the traditional fermentation techniques in new and innovative ways, paired with raw ingredients from the Nordic terroir. The result is a range of delicious and unique products, which are sought after by gourmets today.
We call this CONTEMPEHRARY CONDIMENT #01. It is one of a kind - a truly unique type of Nordic bean sauce, made from small organic Danish fava beans (free from gluten).
Based on ancient fermentation techniques but prepared in new and innovative ways. Similar to the most luxurious Japanese shoyu, this sauce offers excellent, complex aromas and deep umami flavor.
This product also won a gold medal by getting maximum points in all criteria and was titled ‘Best in Class’ at Nordic Artisan Food Awards 2022, where the jury wrote: ‘An exceptional and innovative product in the form of a bean-based umami sauce. With intense and complex notes in both aroma and taste that create a symphony together. This one you want to bring with you everywhere!’.

This is possibly the most special and innovative type of tempeh we have developed. This is truly a product representing the best of Danish and Nordic taste. It is slightly sweet and nutty, with aromatic notes that invites you into the sunbaked fields of Danish summer. Winner of the most prestigious Danish food product innovation price (‘Sol over Gudhjem’), where Denmark’s greatest chefs and gourmets gather every year. Highly recommended.
