Características

This sourdough is resilient, coming back with force even after periods where it is not fed. It has a strong sour aroma and will go from a thick batter to a viscous, soupy liquid 24 hours after feeding. It produces a sourdough with a strong flavor, thick crust, and a tight crumb. Its feedings of white four and water are not precisely measured, but instead based on feel.
