01 / OUR STORY
Some things are too good not to share.
MORE THAN FLOUR & WATER
Her name is Fermentina. Her story is ours.
A living part of Kevin’s family, now shared with your kitchen.
Fermentina is an heirloom Dutch sourdough starter with over 100 years of family heritage. She has been passed down through Kevin’s family, including his grandmother, Oma: a living culture, cared for from one generation to the next.
Today, that tradition continues in the bread we make and the starter we share. A little care, a little patience, and a connection between kitchens that keeps on growing.
A loaf for today. A starter for all the loaves to come. Choose a little of our tradition to take home.
Fresh from our kitchen, picked up locally.
Fermentina bread and starter are currently available for local pickup only in Mount Dora, Florida, helping us preserve the freshness and quality of everything we make.

04 / A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
A little knowledge. A lot of possibility.
What makes Fermentina special?
She is an heirloom Dutch sourdough starter, passed down through Kevin’s family, including his grandmother, Oma. Her story carries over 100 years of Dutch family sourdough heritage. Sharing her means keeping that living tradition going in another kitchen.
What makes sourdough different?
Sourdough uses a living starter made from flour and water to help the dough rise. Time and fermentation create its characteristic flavor, texture, and crust.
How should I store my loaf?
Keep it cut-side down on a board or in a bread bag for the first couple of days. For longer storage, slice and freeze, then toast straight from frozen.
Is your bread gluten-free?
No. Our bread and starter contain wheat, and the Seeded Sourdough Loaf also contains sesame. Sourdough fermentation does not make wheat bread gluten-free. Include any allergy questions in your request before ordering.
Do I need baking experience for the Fermentina Starter Kit with Guide?
Not at all. The kit includes a feeding guide and a beginner loaf recipe. You’ll need flour, water, a kitchen scale, and an oven to start your baking routine.
