Description
Wholemeal Sourdough Starter
Try our Wholemeal Sourdough Starter, taken directly from a mature culture that has been maintained for over 30 years and fed using wholemeal flour.
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!

Arriving alive and active, this starter requires only a feed and a short adjustment period before it is ready to use in your baking.
Suitable for everything from rustic country loaves and wholemeal breads to pizza dough, focaccia and everyday sourdough baking.
