Choose from these Distinctive Heritage Starters:

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Welsh 900

Our signature heritage starter passed down through generations from Wales. This well-established culture thrives in wholewheat flour, creating robust loaves with exceptional depth and a perfectly balanced tang. Its remarkable reliability makes it ideal for both beginners and experienced bakers.

🇩🇪 Bavarian Black Death 400

A rare dark rye culture originating from the heart of Bavaria, dating back approximately 400 years. This distinctive starter creates intensely flavorful breads with complex notes and a subtle sourness that perfectly complements hearty European-style loaves. The dark rye foundation gives your bread a rustic character that's impossible to replicate with commercial yeast.

🇺🇸 San Francisco

The legendary San Francisco sourdough culture that made sourdough famous worldwide. Optimized for bread flour, this starter produces the quintessential tangy flavor profile that sourdough enthusiasts recognize instantly. Create authentic San Francisco-style loaves with that characteristic open crumb and crackling crust.
