Our Starter Is
Older Than the Web

In 1994, our founder Marcel Dubois carried a small jar of sourdough starter from a boulangerie in Lyon. That living culture — fed daily with heritage grain and filtered spring water — is the soul of every loaf we bake.

We source exclusively from heritage grain farms in Burgundy, Normandy, and the Scottish Highlands. No commercial yeast. No shortcuts. Only time.
