Made with organic dark rye flour and a mature wild yeast culture, this kit is ideal for those seeking traditional, full-bodied sourdough. Rye creates a slightly denser crumb and bold flavour profile that pairs beautifully with seeds, grains, and savoury toppings. The kit is 100% vegan and contains no additives or preservatives — just flour, water, and naturally occurring wild yeast.

Please note: the image of the starter in the jar shows approximately 200g at peak activity for demonstration purposes. Your starter will be labelled with a use-by date one week from dispatch. Please activate it before this date.
