A Classic with a Wild Past
This Organic White Sourdough Starter is part of the legendary culture we call The Bear Starter — a 150-year-old heirloom passed down since the BC gold rush.
The story goes that one morning, the family came downstairs to find a black bear licking sourdough starter straight from the jar. Since then, this wild-caught culture has been known for its strength, resilience, and incredible flavour.
Mild, reliable, and easy to revive — this white starter is the go-to for crusty artisan loaves, soft sandwich bread, and golden sourdough rolls with just the right amount of tang.
✔️ What’s Included:
• 8g of dehydrated organic white sourdough starter
• Printed + digital instructions

💡 Why It’s Loved:
• Balanced, tangy flavour with a light, airy crumb
• Ideal for beginners and long-time bakers alike
