Alpha
desde 2019
The buzz about it in food and health industry. Its also the way it was represented, requiring more skill and effort that made me try it.
Características
Alpha is mild in flavour profile with more of lactic acid smell.It requires 2 to 3 feed to wake it from nap.It is kept in fridge when not in use and is fed every 3 weeks. As it is a mix of whole wheat flour and apf, its rising time is moderate. The colour is towards more of white rather then wheatish.It is suitable to make sweet and stiff starters too if recipe calls for.
