What is maya? (and why it's worth using)

Sourdough is a living culture, made from just flour and water, in which wild yeasts and beneficial bacteria slowly ferment the dough. Basically, sourdough transforms ordinary bread into a functional food, with a unique taste, airy texture, and crispy crust.

  • Sourdough bread = no additives, no preservatives.

  • Better digestibility: Natural fermentation reduces gluten and lowers the glycemic index.

  • Complex, authentic flavor: Subtle, slightly sour notes, impossible to reproduce with rapid yeast.
