The history of Raprima
This starter was developed as a project at the LIPI institute in Bandung/Java/Indonesia. It was a response to a need for a reliable, successful tempeh starter.

Until then the traditional tempeh maker would use homemade starters or traditonal starter made on the leaf of daun Waru. All of these starters required great skill and experience to use and often resulted in failed tempeh.
At the LIPI institute they developed the new starter using the most successful natural strains available and the result was the birth of what was to become Raprima Tempeh starter. The formula and rights were bought from LIPI and are the basis for the production of Raprima tempeh starter.

The factory is based in Bandung and meets all strict the government regulations for the production of food-grade ingredients. It is subject to regular inspections and testing by the relevant government departments. It is now used daily all over Indonesia and distributed worldwide by us.
