The Bear Starter | Bold Rye Sourdough

The Wild One in the Family
This Organic Rye Sourdough Starter is the boldest offshoot of The Bear Starter — a 150-year-old heirloom culture passed down since the gold rush era.

Legend has it, a bear once broke into the family kitchen and tasted the original starter straight from the jar. Since then, it’s been known for its strength, wildness, and flavour unlike any other.

Earthy, tangy, and full of character, this rye starter is perfect for pumpernickel, European-style loaves, and dark, crusty bread with attitude.

✔️ What’s Included:

• 10g of dehydrated organic rye sourdough starter
• Printed + digital instructions
• A living culture with history (and bite)

💡 Why It’s Loved:

• Deep, complex flavour
• Strong fermentation for dense breads
• Shelf-stable and beginner-friendly
• Rooted in wilderness, tradition, and a bear-sized legend
