New French connection for artisan-style sourdough

“For the most part, we do our own processing,”​ says James Smith, sales director at Edme, “but when it came to sourdough, we wanted a specialist in the field. Philibert are the masters of French flavour and process. Their sourdoughs are so well respected that the chance to share them with customers was too good to miss.​”

Plant and craft bakers will now be able to produce French artisan-style breads without the need to nurture live cultures.

Already done the job ​

“Philibert has already done the job for you,”​ says James. “It takes natural sourdough cultures and simply dries them at source to provide wholesome, stable, easy-to-use sourdough powders.​

“These natural ferments really enhance flavour, aroma and texture and enable you to create artisan-style breads on any scale, without having to wait for cultures to mature. You simply add 3–8% powder to your bread mix. Results are consistent and high quality,”​ says James.
