A living tradition

Your sourdough mother is a living culture made up of natural wild yeast and beneficial bacteria. With regular feeding, it becomes active, bubbly, and ready to create beautifully risen artisan sourdough with incredible flavour and texture.

How to care for your starter

• Feed regularly with fresh flour and clean water.
• Wait until it becomes bubbly and active before baking.
• Always keep a small amount after each bake to feed again.
• Store at room temperature if you bake frequently.
• Refrigerate between bakes if you bake occasionally.
• Feed after refrigeration and allow it to become active before use.

Made to last

With a little love and regular care, your sourdough mother can live for many years. Bakers around the world pass their starters down through generations, creating countless loaves from the very same living culture.
