Organic Alaskan Sourdough Starter

Sourdough is made from the naturally occurring yeast and lactic acid bacteria in flour. It is often also used to name bread made using the culture. Yeasts and bacteria suitable for bread production are found in relatively high amounts on the surface of cereal grains, such as wheat. By grinding the grains into flour and allowing these micro-organisms to thrive – by adding water, keeping the mix at an appropriate temperature, and providing food in the form of more flour to create what is known as a ‘starter’ – they can be increased in size and concentration.

Our Sourdough comes sourced from starter cultures that have been in use for over a century. A mature, well-aged sourdough starter has a much stronger and distinctive sourdough flavour than one recently started from scratch. We have worked hard to obtain the very best sourdough from across the world. We feed our starter cultures twice a day; ensuring that what you purchase from us is a very active, starter culture.

The latest addition to our sourdough range. This starter is over 100 years old and comes directly from Fairbanks in Alaska. Anyone that has spent any time around Alaskan oldtimers is likely to have heard about a sourdough starter that has been handed down from the Gold Rush era. Sourdough is such an important part of Alaskan culture that people who have lived in Alaska for more than one winter are often referred to as “Sourdoughs”.

This remote location brings with it some very unique yeasts that give our Alaskan sourdough starter a very unique flavour. In comparison to our San Francisco starter, it adds a much milder, sometimes almost sweet flavour to anything it’s used in. If you want to experience American sourdough but you’re not a fan of the really sour San Francisco style, we highly recommend you try this starter!

First timer!!

Really happy and frustrated at the same time! if you ever wondered why ‘real’ sourdough bread is so expensive, try making your own and you’ll soon realise the time and effort that goes into making it. We bought our starter kit, which arrived promptly with good communications from the company. Really easy to get started. After a couple of loafs we called and spoke to David, super passionate and really really helpful. Fantastic customer service, now having much better results.

Alaskan Sourdough

Excellent product, really helpful customer care when I didn't get it right first time, and now, lovely loaves of wonderfully mild-flavoured bread. Just the sourdough I love!

Both White and Alaskan Sourdough starters are the best i have ever used

I ordered a white sourdough and an alaskan sourdough starter and a Langfill youghurt. They were delivered promptly and i have to say All three products were excellent. I found both the sourdough starters to be really the best sourdough starters i have ever used.... and i have tried several. I would commend Freshly Fermented products to anyone who wants a quality result. The Langfill youghurt is one i have had before. That one was ok, but i lost the culture when i was abroad for a spell. However this latest one is really nice and a better falviur and texture than the previous one. Top marks to you folk at freshly fermented
