Tevah Flour Co. Freeze Dried Sourdough starter

Tevah Freeze-Dried Sourdough Starter

Mountain-born. Flour-fed. Wild at heart.

Meet Zara — our beloved sourdough starter, lovingly fed with fresh-milled flour and the clean mountain air and water of British Columbia. Now available in a freeze-dried format, this shelf-stable starter is your low-maintenance, high-reward baking companion — ready to spring back to life whenever you are.

We nourish Zara with the same flour we bake with: a blend of organic ancient grains, hard red wheat, and rye, stone-milled in-house for peak nutrition and flavour. No enrichments, no additives — just real grain, real wild yeast, and real potential.

Why freeze-dried?

Unlike traditional dehydration, freeze-drying preserves the full vitality of your starter by gently removing moisture at cold temperatures — protecting the delicate yeast and bacteria strains that give sourdough its strength, flavour, and character. This means better rise, faster revival, and more consistent performance — all without refrigeration.

And even when you’re not baking loaves, this freeze-dried starter is a secret powerhouse ingredient in everyday baking. A spoonful adds depth, tang, and nutrition to pancakes, muffins, cookies, crackers, and more — it’s our go-to way to sneak a little extra magic into almost anything.

Whether you’re new to sourdough or rekindling your love for wild fermentation, this starter is your invitation to crusty loaves, tangy crumb, and that unmistakable sourdough soul.

✨ To Revive:

Stir 1 tsp of freeze-dried starter into 1 Tbsp of warm water and let sit 10 minutes to dissolve. Feed with 2 Tbsp flour + 2 Tbsp water. Cover loosely and let rest at room temperature. Feed daily (or twice daily) until active, bubbly, and ready to bake — usually 3–5 days depending on temperature. Full instructions included.
