Part of my family originates from South Tyrol, in Northern Italy, bordering Austria. As a child, during family holidays in this region, I used to enjoy its typical rye breads. I since developed a taste for sourdough rye bread, particularly if flavoured with caraway seeds. I now enjoy baking these loaves in London

특징

Vera is a rye starter. It's thick and pasty when just fed and creamy and bubbly once fermented. It ferments quickly and easily triples in volume. It has a pleasant, fruity smell when recently fed, but turns pungent and acidic if left unfed for over a week.

Vera is named after my maternal grandmother, whom I loved very much. My grandmother originated from South Tyrol,in Northern Italy, on the border with Austria. Although my grandmother was not a baker, she was trained as a professional cook and passed her love for cooking onto me. I owe to her my perseverance to achieving good results with sourdough.
