Greta’s Heart (1 oz)

In the heart of the Bavarian Alps, a love story was baked into the dough. Greta’s Heart, a rye starter passed down through generations, carries with it the warmth and resilience of the Müller family. In 1821, after tragedy struck Greta’s life, a forgotten batch of rye dough transformed into a living culture, giving birth to bread that was deep, malty, and comforting. She called it Herz des Hauses—"Heart of the House."
