Storytelling is best
We produce a range of living sourdough, both active and stabilised on the Mornington Pennisula in Melbourne, Victoria. Uniquely made with local flour's grown here in Australia, by farmers who practice regenerative agriculture techniques.
Each sourdough has a unique flavour profile and is and is nutrient dense, with high fibre and protein content. In addition, the wheat and wholemeal rye flours have single origin, making it possible for consumers to know where it is grown, the farmers, and to appreciate the positive impact on the health and environment of local farming communities.
What is sourdough and how is it used in bread?
Originating in ancient Egypt, sourdough methods and recipes were passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. It remained the principal form of leavening until the Middle Ages, and is still a popular bread option today.
Sourdough is a natural leavening ingredient consisting of flour and water. Also known as bread starter, levain, masa madre, lievito naturale or Sauerteig, sourdough gives baked products their structure and taste. Micro-organisms within the sourdough use the starch and minerals found in flour to ferment and increase the volume of bread, while organic molecules create the flavours.
Our Puratos Australian Sourdough solutions help you with this process, our sourdoughs are Ready-To-Use, made with a 48h fermentation production process, creating complex flavours and aromas in your baked goods.
