The inauguration of the Sourdough Library has taken place at the Puratos Center for Bread Flavour in Saint-Vith (Belgium). The sourdough library is the first of its kind in the world and aims to preserve sourdough biodiversity and sourdough baking knowledge.
It is home to a unique collection of sourdoughs from bakers across the globe. Eric Kayser, master artisan baker and Chairman of the Board of Maison Kayser in Paris, joined the inauguration to place his sourdough in the Puratos Sourdough Library, amongst some 40 other sourdoughs coming from Italy, USA and Greece. Other collection programmes are running in France, China and Spain.
The official opening of the Sourdough Library at the Puratos Center for Bread Flavour in Saint-Vith (Belgium) introduces a truly unique and exceptional concept: the first-ever collection of authentic sourdoughs from around the world. The aim is to preserve sourdough diversity and sourdough baking knowledge, as well as to maintain the sourdough heritage.
