Frequently asked questions and answers

What is sourdough?

The foundation of sourdough is based on a sourdough ‘culture’ – a mix of flour and water in a controlled fermentation process using the natural yeast found in air. The lactic and acetic acids released during the proving and fermentation process of baking sourdough help in building superior flavour in the final loaf. We choose a long fermentation to ensure a unique, memorable flavour. This process takes about 18 hours before mixed with flour and water as the basis for all our breads and pastries.

What are the benefits of sourdough breads?

There are many benefits to eating sourdough breads:

  • Sourdough is known for its low Glycaemic Index (GI). By supplementing sourdough into your meals you’ll feel fuller for longer.
  • The natural sourdough culture breaks down the gluten protein that is found in the flour. This process allows the sourdough to be more gentle on the stomach and easier to digest, which is fantastic for those who are sensitive to commercial bread or even have a level of gluten intolerance.
  • Artisan sourdough can’t be mass produced – when choosing real sourdough you’re supporting your local community and bakery.
