Starter Cultures

Create your signature sourdough bread using Florapan® baking cultures of selected lactic acid bacteria. 

Consumers crave great artisanal-style bread, expect clean labels, and are looking for healthy alternatives like reduced salt, gluten-free, or sourdough bread. We realize it’s sometimes hard to meet all consumer demands while still producing a high-quality and profitable loaf of bread. 

Florapan® starter cultures simplify European-style sourdough production with a single step. Comprised of lactic acid bacteria and aromatic yeasts, these cultures are meticulously chosen for their ability to enhance flavor and ensure consistent fermentation. They improve shelf life by preventing mold and staleness while enhancing the crumb structure and imparting a mild, pleasant acidity to the bread. 

Florapan® Sourdough Baking Cultures solutions are made from special strains selected by Lallemand for their organoleptic baking contributions. Developed to help bakers maintain a consistent sourdough bread production without the complex back-slopping process, Florapan® Sourdough Baking cultures can generate sourdoughs with varying flavor intensities and acidity profile.
