Discover the rich flavor and health benefits of real sourdough

The Art of Fermentation

Fermentation is what turns 3 simple ingredients into a natural, flavorful, loaf of bread. Unlike conventional bread made with commercial yeast, sourdough undergoes a natural fermentation process with wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria that can take from 24-48 hours to fully develop. This slow, natural process is key to sourdough's distinct flavor, texture, and nutritional benefits.

Gentle on Digestion

The benefits of fermentation extend far beyond flavor. During the fermentation process, the natural bacteria partially break down gluten and starches, making sourdough gentler on the digestive system. Many people find sourdough bread more satisfying and less likely to cause bloating. 

Nutritional Benefits

The natural fermentation process increases the availability of essential nutrients such as B vitamins, iron, and magnesium, making them easier for the body to absorb. It also reduces phytic acid, a compound that can block nutrient absorption. Additionally, sourdough has a lower glycemic index compared to many other breads, meaning it can help maintain steadier blood sugar levels.

Flavor & Texture

The natural yeasts and bacteria create sourdough's fluffy, airy crumb and the slow fermentation process develops a crisp, golden crust. Organic acids strengthen the dough and preserve the bread naturally, meaning sourdough stays fresh for longer without additives.
