Italian Sourdough
They are among the best we have ever used, consistently producing fabulous breads and PIZZAS that are flavorful and can be QUITE SOUR.
Giza Sourdough Starter
Dough made from this culture RISES VERY WELL and is MODERATELY SOUR.
South African Sourdough
This is the only sourdough culture we are aware of that LEAVENS WHOLE WHEAT BETTER THAN IT DOES WHITE FLOUR, and it is therefore ideal for those who grind their own flour. The flavor is truly unique, and when combined with 100 percent whole wheat flour, it yields breads with UNSURPASSED TEXTURE, SOURNESS AND FLAVOR. We have also grown it using all white flour. The nutty flavor persists and white sourdough breads made with this culture are quite different from those prepared with our other sourdough cultures. Its ability to leaven whole wheat doughs offers the home baker almost unlimited opportunities to experiment with different combinations of WHOLE WHEAT, SPELT, KAMUT AND WHITE FLOURS.
