Since 2015

The original starter was made in 2015 near Wandsworth in southwest London and then moved to Rutland. This starter has travelled to Vallejo California very near the world famous sourdough bread area of San Francisco, on to Singapore and it's now settled in the Silicon valley of Norther California mixing with the flora, fauna and water of the local area

Characteristics

This starter began in London, England in 2015. It then travelled to the East Midlands, then on to Singapore and San Francisco and has finally settled back in the beautiful Silicon Valley of Norther California. Along the way picking up the flora and fauna of each region. It has mixed with the wild yeasts and bacteria from it's travels which we believe gives it a unique structure and flavour.
