Spelt Sourdough Starter & Organic Flour

Spelt is a lovely choice for bakers who enjoy a slightly nuttier, sweeter loaf, and it’s often paired with our Shipton Mill Organic Spelt Flour. So we’ve brought the two together and added a small saving for good measure.

You can choose either our 50g Live Active Spelt Sourdough Starter or the 5g Dried Sourdough Starter, both paired with 1kg of Shipton Mill Organic Spelt Flour.

Our Spelt Sourdough Starter is made with certified organic spelt flour and has a naturally mild, nutty flavour with a gentle sweetness. Paired with the same high-quality flour used to maintain the starter, it’s perfect for creating beautifully soft, flavourful loaves with the distinctive character of this ancient grain.

Ideal for rustic breads, artisan flatbreads and everyday sourdough baking, spelt brings a slightly lighter, more delicate flavour while still giving you the depth and complexity you’d expect from a good sourdough.
