Organic British White Sourdough Starter Culture

£8.50

Our organic white sourdough starter is a good all-purpose sourdough. With a fairly tangy flavour which is ideal for white bread and pizzas.

Organic British White Sourdough Starter Culture

Our organic British white sourdough starter culture 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 organic British white sourdough starter culture 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.

We have traced the heritage of our Hampshire sourdough back over a century to the New Forest. Since then it has found its way into many kitchens across the UK. This is a true heirloom variety that has only been fed on plain white flour. It produces a classic tasting white sourdough loaf that has a mild, subtle flavour.

Sourdough starter

Hi,I used to use your sourdough starter over a year ago and it was just perfect and easy to make a delicious bread.
I bought it recently to start baking again.
I have followed the instructions and gave it a go twice - but with no success.
Sadly the bread doesn't rise and looks rather sad and undercooked.
The starter looks well activated after a couple of feeds ,so I don't know what is going wrong this time.
Could you please help with this?

I am sure that practice makes perfect, but ...
I followed the instructions given on your video to the letter. Unfortunately, the resulting loaf had the shape, texture and appetite appeal of a discus. (I did throw it away.)
For the time being, I will return to buying my sourdough from the local baker. Come the summer, I will have another go.
The two stars is not a rating of your organic culture which I am sure is wonderful nor of your customer service, which was excellent, but is refers only to the outcome. As I say, I will definitely try again. Kind regards.

It works!

The Organic British White Sourdough Starter Culture works and the instructions provided on the website are comprehensive and really easy to follow. In fact, now my husband has read the instructions he has realised he probably didn't need to throw away our old culture.
