Item Details
Organic White Rye Sourdough Starter made from a starter originally created way back in 1979! and has been fed daily by me for the past 8 years so, currently 47 years old and counting…😊 We feed our starter daily which keeps it very active, the taste and smell is very pleasant (sweet and sour). You will receive approximately 60g of our starter, please refrigerate on receipt.
NB The starter contains live active natural wild yeast so, if you are buying this item as a gift, please advise and we can delay a dispatch date a couple of days before you intend to gift the starter.

This amazing ‘award winning’ sourdough culture lives and thrives in our own kitchen in the New Forest where we teach Sourdough and other bread courses. Our sourdough was awarded first prize at last years New Forest Country Show and we are members of the New Forest Marque and the Real Bread Campaign.

According to some studies, sourdough bread acts as a prebiotic, which means that the fibre in the bread helps feed the “good” bacteria in your intestines. These bacteria are important for maintaining a stable, healthy digestive system. Sourdough is also lower in gluten than other forms of bread

This is such an excellent starter. It arrived well packaged, with clear instructions and was dispatched so promptly. I’ve used it to bake my first sourdough and it’s turned out far better than I hoped given I’m a beginner. Really happy with it and looking forward to continuing to improve my skills with this starter - particularly making it a bit more airy and less dense. Thank you!
