The history behind each of our sourdough cultures has been passed down through generations, much like a story shared around the table. It’s a bit like folklore—rich with tradition, but not always easy to pin down. While we can’t always verify the exact details, every starter carries with it a piece of the past, lovingly nurtured and handed down from baker to baker.
