Sourdough

Many of today’s consumers look for traditional products made out of natural, clean-label ingredients. When it comes to baked goods in particular, quality, taste and freshness are key factors in purchasing decisions.

Puratos’ leading Sourdoughs allow you to produce fresh, tasty and high-quality bread products easily and quickly. Increasing productivity, enhancing aromas and expanding product possibilities, our sourdough range provides satisfaction and convenience for consumers, bakers and industrials alike.   

Authentic taste and texture for every loaf

Every great bread starts with great fermentation. Puratos sourdoughs help bakers around the world create breads that taste richer, stay fresher, and feel more natural, without adding complexity to your production process. Our sourdough solutions deliver consistency, convenience, and artisan quality for bakeries of every size.

What is sourdough?

Sourdough is a living culture of flour and water that gives bread its unique flavor, aroma, and structure. During fermentation, natural microorganisms transform the dough to give it its unique flavor, digestibility features, and longer shelf life.

At Puratos, we transform centuries of baking expertise into modern solutions for every type of production. You can go for active sourdoughs that lift your dough or deactivated ones that boost flavor. Our range helps you create the authentic taste consumers are actively looking for.

Why bakers trust in Puratos sourdough solutions

  • Flavor variety: Mild and creamy? Or rather tangy and toasted? Our experts help you build your signature taste.

  • Consistency at scale: Designed for both artisan and industrial lines — stable, predictable, and easy to integrate.

  • Clean-label formulations: Natural fermentation with no artificial preservatives or added sugars.

  • Longer shelf life: Our enzyme and fermentation technology keeps breads soft and aromatic for longer.
  • Tailored solutions: Need something unique? We co-create custom sourdoughs based on your process and flavor goals.
