Health and flavour plus I enjoy cooking and when I retired I wanted to master the art of bread making. I've made "yeast" breads for decades - SD eclipses the best of these in every way. There are very few local bakers who make quality fermented breads.

Caratteristiche

Has a mellow slightly tangy wine-like aroma with a distinctive buttery , autumn fruit nose with hints of hay not unlike a well-aged chardonnay. Has excellent reliability and stability for longer cool fermentations.
