Sourdough Cultures

Authentic flavor and texture of traditional sourdough begins with Lyoferm's Levain line of sourdough bread cultures. The rustic characteristics of European and San Francisco sourdough breads can be developed using a unique combination of bacteria and yeasts, or a traditional native culture. As with our other cultures, custom-blending of bacteria and yeasts is also possible and can be derived from pure culture or mixed, undefined cultures.

Lyoferm can combine various yeast and bacteria cultures for a specific process to increase flavor as well as create a more balanced flavor. Custom culture blends can be designed to accelerate the speed of fermentation and development of flavor and texture.

We can also characterize your current starter culture, and reproduce it for you, eliminating the need to carry the culture, and ensuring that your culture will remain unchanged over time.
