The Bear Starter | Classic White Sourdough

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.
