The starter
A wild culture we've fed every day for nine years.
Nine years old
Our starter, Blanche, is a wild culture of flour and water we've fed every single day since the first oven went in. Wild yeast and bacteria, in a jar, doing the work no packet can.
The culture
born autumn 2017 feed 2× daily, 1:2:2 hydration 100% — a stiff, spoonable paste flavor mellow, slightly sour, never sharp
What it gives you
A starter isn't just leavening — it's flavor, keeping quality, and a crumb that stays moist for days. This is the whole product, really.
