Sapore Tosca

A powder durum wheat sourdough ingredient

Tosca is a mild wheat sourdough in powder form. It is designed for Italian style bread and generates a typical creamy flavour.

  • A ready to use sourdough
  • A higher extensibility of the dough
  • Cream coloured crumb
  • Improves crumb elasticity and sliceability

The French aquired sourdough from the Greeks on their trading missions. According to traditonal French bread culture, grapes or bran were soaked in water and using this water to mix with flour 'levain' fermentation began. 

The fermentation happens because of the micro flora (yeast and bacteria) present on the grapes and it promotes the development of fruity flavours. Bread leavened with levain ((Pain au Levain) has a rich, complex flavour and is generally not sour. 

Thus the flora of the grapes can ferment both wine and bread...
