Taste and health.
Caractéristiques
St John's is a very reliable starter that is easy, and almost foolproof to make. It is very fast too, enabling the baker to use it successfully in only 5 days. It stores well in the refrigerator. It has a mellow flavor, not too tart. More creamy and buttery than most starters.
