Organic Sourdough Starter

What is a Sourdough Starter?

A sourdough starter is a living culture of wild yeasts and bacteria used to leaven bread naturally. This mixture of flour and water ferments over time, capturing wild yeasts from the environment to create a flavorful and aromatic leavening agent for sourdough bread. Unlike commercial yeast, a sourdough starter imparts a distinctive tangy flavor, chewy texture, and rich aroma to your bread.
