Our quality selected strains ensure that our live sourdoughs develop powerful, highly acidifying fermentation properties and great aromatic qualities during the baking process.
The stability of the products ensure that bakers obtain consistent results in creating flavourful traditional sourdough breads, also suitable for upscaling production.
We carry a range of sourdough ingredients that can be readily incorporated into your flour mix, allowing you to adjust the dosage according to your desired recipe.
Our solutions are suited to all baking processes – straight, slow proofing, inhibited fermentation.
At Lesaffre, we manage to summarise and categorise the key characteristics of sourdough breads into the diagram known as “Palette of Aromas”. This diagram can help you to classify various unique aromatic notes of sourdough, making it easier for you to find the perfect match to create your desired recipe!
We offer a comprehensive range of sourdough products which includes starters, live sourdoughs, and various sourdough ingredients.
Starters are used to obtain sourdough with the desired characteristics for baking through a careful choice of pure and carefully selected strains of yeast and bacteria. This helps to produce and determine the aroma found in breads. LIVENDO® starters help to simplify the process to produce a consistent sourdough compared to traditional methods.
LIVENDO® has a good range of sourdough ingredients that can be incorporated into your mix directly to reproduce distinct aromatic properties similar to that produced by sourdoughs.
Available in liquid and powder forms, these ingredients can also be combined to obtain unique aromatic and visual profiles, suitable for sweet Asian breads or European style breads. It is also a simple and easy-to-use addition to your recipe!
Ready-to-use live sourdough enables you to prepare sourdough breads without the hassle of having to prepare it from scratch. Our live sourdoughs are produced from the natural fermentation of cereal flour obtained from organic farming. A healthy and time-saving addition to your recipe!
