In enjoy long fermentation flavors and appreciate the taste, texture, and color sourdough lends to the crumb and crust.
Characteristics
Fruity, yeasty nose. A bit sluggish compared to other sourdoughs based on what I have read. Takes an extra hour to pass the float test. My sourdough likes to take its time to get to full power, but can produce some lofty loaves with nice ears. Behaves a bit naughty in the summer months and begs for special attention.
