Viana Vegan FoodsViana is a brand of TofuTown.com GmbH, a German company that has been producing tofu products for 30 years.
Their factory is based in the Eifel region in the West of Germany bodered by the mighty Rhine in the East and the Mosel in the South. A volcanic plateau, this region is famous for its excellent supply of mineral water which they use in production.
When they first started production they were arrested! The German authorities (obviously with the encouragement of the powerful meat industry) refused to recognise Tofu products as a food and tried to ban it. Apparently they could speall it either, calling it turfo, tofo even tortuffo!
Well things have certainly moved on from those tough times and TofuTown produce an excellent range of healthy, organic vegan foods, including tasty burgers, sausages and other meat free classics. They estimate that they use use over 200,000,000,000,000,000 organic soya beans each year, making 500,000 burgers and 1,000,000 sausages. They even have their Factory on Tofu Straße (Tofu Street) !
Viana products are organic and therefore contain no GMOs, all of their products are suitable for vegans. They have a strong commitment to organic production and the vegan way of life. Their premises and production processes are subject to strict external conrols that address the factory, the quality of staff, packaging, etc. ensuring that any products you buy are of the highest quality.
They have a lot of fans in Germany, one German band, the Mars Allstars, love Viana products so much they even made a special album called 'Viana on Mars' for Viana to give away plus a free concert at the massive BioFach show in Nuremburg in 2008.
Of course before we chose to sell the Viana range we tried them all (what a tough job!) because we feel it is important to know the products we sell, and in fact we use many of them ourselves. Once we tried them we knew we had to have them.
