Packaged in BPA-free materials with detailed instructions, it offers a lifetime supply of authentic sourdough for professional and passionate bakers alike. ## Description Product Description The Live Advantage vs. Dried Starters Why Choose a Live Culture Over Dehydrated Powder? Dehydrated sourdough starters sold online can take up to 5 to 7 days of precise temperature control just to wake up—and many fail to revive at all. Kombuchaorganic delivers a thriving, liquid-state live starter. Because it is never subjected to the stress of industrial drying, it preserves 100% of its native microflora. Simply feed it once upon arrival, and it will be bubbly, active, and ready for your first dough mix within 12 to 24 hours. Highly Active Live Culture: Shipped as a wet, live culture—not a dormant, dried powder. It retains its full enzymatic activity during transit and wakes up quickly upon arrival. BPA-Safe Material: Packaged in heavy-duty, triple-sealed, food-safe pouches designed to withstand pressure changes during shipping without leaking or bursting. Easier to Digest: The mature wild yeasts and lactobacilli break down complex starches and phytic acid during fermentation, making the resulting bread gentler on sensitive stomachs. Comprehensive Baker’s Guide: Includes step-by-step reactivation instructions, a foolproof feeding schedule, and a beginner-friendly recipe to help your first loaf become a masterpiece. 45 Years in the Making: Premium, Live Lake District Sourdough Starter for Master Bakers Zero Activation, Maximum Flavor: Certified Organic Live Starter Fed Daily and Made to Order 45 Years of Maturity: Established in 1979 in a traditional Lake District organic bakery, this incredibly mature, resilient starter delivers deep, complex flavours that cheap, freeze-dried alternatives simply cannot match. 100% Live & Active: Shipped fresh and fed daily.

This independent verification guarantees the highest standards of food safety, microbial stability, and consistent performance. For professional bakers and the trade, this means a reliable, compliant, and top-tier ingredient you can trust in your commercial kitchen day after day. Quick Start Step-by-Step Unbox & Transfer: Snip the pouch and squeeze the live starter into a clean glass jar (at least 500ml capacity to allow for expansion). The First Feed: Add 50g of organic flour (rye, white or whole wheat) and 50ml of lukewarm, chlorine-free water. Stir thoroughly until no dry flour remains. Watch it Rise: Cover loosely with a lid or cloth. Place it in a warm spot (21C to 26C). Within 4 to 12 hours, you will see it double in size, full of active bubbles. Bake & Save: Use the required amount for your recipe, leave a small amount of "discard" in the jar, feed it again, and store it in the fridge until your next baking day. ## Features - We are leading supplier of sourdough to bakers/trade.
