Our three pillars
Our Sourdough Institute is founded on three pillars: Protect, Research and Inspire
Protect
In our Sourdough Library, we have initiated a social profit initiative to
preserve the biodiversity of sourdough and contribute to the world of fermentation and fermentation technology. We have chosen to make this our first focus at the Sourdough Institute due to its importance for current and future generations. This project is dedicated to protecting and preserving the age-old tradition of Sourdough Baking.
Research
In our Sourdough Library, we have a vast collection of sourdough,
which enables us to conduct unprecedented research projects. We collaborate with renowned universities, offering internships and conducting experiments with the owners of the sourdoughs in our library. We aim to assist passionate bakers and our customers in baking better bread. Our ambition is to crack the code to make sourdough again an indispensable ingredient into tomorrows bread.
Inspire
We strive to inspire you both online and offline, with events held at the institute. You can connect with us through our online social media channels and this website to access tips, tricks, recipes, and techniques. Additionally, we are available to deliver keynotes or inspirational talks about the power of sourdough. Feel free to reach out to us and let us know what you're interested in.
