Live Sourdough Starter

Our Live Sourdough Starter is taken directly from a mature culture that has been maintained for over 30 years. Fully established and regularly fed, it arrives active and ready to become part of your baking routine.

PLEASE NOTE

Your sourdough starter is a live, active culture. During transit it may continue to ferment and, in some cases, can expand enough to escape from the pot and into the sealed bag. If this happens, don’t worry, it is completely normal and does not affect the quality of the starter.

Simply scrape any starter from inside the sterile bag back into a clean container. You only need a small amount of healthy starter to get it going again, and once fed according to the instructions, it will quickly become active and ready to use.

Thank you for understanding that live cultures can sometimes be a little enthusiastic on their journey!

This active sourdough starter is taken directly from a mature culture that has been maintained for over 30 years. It is fully established, regularly fed and ready to incorporate into your baking routine.

Arriving alive and fermenting, the starter requires only a feed and a short adjustment period before it is ready to leaven bread reliably and consistently.

The culture produces balanced acidity and strong fermentation activity, making it suitable for a wide range of naturally leavened breads, from country boules and bâtards to pizza dough, focaccia and enriched recipes.

A practical choice for bakers who want to begin baking with an established starter without the delay of building one from scratch.
