his sourdough starter is lovingly made at home in our lovely farmhouse kitchen in Bristol, England. We mix the sourdough starter in the morning, let it triple in size then air dry it in our ventilated outhouse. Allowing the mixture to triple before air drying leaves you with the maximum amount of cultures frozen in state ready to be revived at home by you. This is not a commercial product and has a long family history, unlike other sourdough starters you can purchase on amazon this contains no commercial yeast and is a truly artisan product This sourdough starter has been in our family for generations and has produced thousands of loafs over the years. We only use the best artisinal flour to produce this starter and it is packaged as soon as it has dried out. To care for this sourdough starter once its revived (full instructions in the pack) you simply must feed it a ratio of 1-1-1 (starter, water, flour) discarding or re using any left over sourdough starter. This means you have starter forever if cared for properly. Unlike fresh sourdough starter this can be activated at any time and stored in a cool dry place until then. This makes it the perfect gift for anyone who doesnt plan make bread straight away.
