San Francisco Sourdough Starter Culture

So, what makes this sourdough so special?
Our San Francisco Sourdough Cultures are imported from the Fishermans Wharf area and allow you to preserve the authenticity of the original sourdough bread. This starter contains a specific mixture of a unique strain of bacteria called L. sanfranciscensis. Local bakers in San Francisco maintained that no one could reproduce it outside a 50-mile radius of the city – only adding to its allure.
This top-selling sourdough starter culture will craft nutritious, authentic sourdough bread. It’s a super active starter, combined with the purity of the highest quality ingredients, perfect for those who value all natural and wholesome ingredients.

Why Bake With Our Sourdough Starter?
Tradition in Every Loaf: Our sourdough starters date back hundreds of years, well before commercial yeasts were available.
Pure Nutrition: You won’t find and type of fussy chemicals here, only pure, natural ingredients for a superior bake.
Sustainable: Our starters are made with local ingredients and produce the most sustainable bread in Ireland.
Healthy: Sourdough bread feeds the “good” bacteria in your gut – making it extremely beneficial to your day-to-day life.
We also use spring water, specifically chosen for its mineral profile which helps the fermentation process. This combination of mature cultures, the finest flour available, and top quality water results in a seriously exceptional sourdough loaf. Our sourdough cultures are very old, very tasty, and super active!
Perfect for the seasoned sourdough enthusiast or the beginner home baker, our San Francisco sourdough starter cultures will help you to craft a nutritious loaf with that delicious crust and airy crumb.
To preserve the authenticity of your sourdough starter culture, we strongly recommend bottled or filtered water. The active bacteria “Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis” does not like Irish chlorinated tap water!
