Our sourdough has been passed on from baker to baker for decades. It has it's roots in Eastern Finland, probably in the 1950s. Teaching people the art of traditional Finnish sourdough baking is one of our most popular classes.

This 100% whole grain rye sourdough has been passed down from employee to employee in the Uusimaa district of the organization. Martan ruisjuuri has been used to teach hundreds of people the art of traditional Finnish rye sourdough baking.
