Sourdough starters allow bakers to prepare sourdough in just one step and within 24 hours, retaining the rich flavours and, distinct crumb and crust in the finished loaf.
Calling on years of knowledge and mastery, we carefully select and stabilise just the right natural sourdough flora to replicate the quality and characteristics of traditional sourdoughs to improve crumb texture and provide those familiar sourdough flavours within 18-24 hours, instead of days.
By adjusting temperatures, hydration, sourdough flour types, and dough maturation times with a sourdough bread starter, bakers can create a wide variety of speciality breads, sandwich breads, brioche, and Viennese baked goods.

The desire to maintain the fermentation power of sourdough and conserve its sensory qualities inspired Lesaffre to launch the first- ever, ready-to-use living liquid sourdough with guaranteed biomass. The benefits of this patented process for bakers include:
