Le Souffle de Montmartre (1 oz)

In the heart of Paris, beneath the windmills of Montmartre, a young baker named Étienne crafted bread that captured the spirit of the city. Le Souffle de Montmartre is a levain starter born from Étienne’s passionate singing to his dough and a fateful summer storm. The unique balance between the sweet aroma of wheat and the sharpness of Parisian air gave rise to a starter that would forever change the taste of bread.

As the Revolution swept through Paris, Étienne fled, but his apprentice saved the starter, ensuring that Le Souffle de Montmartre would continue to rise in artisan kitchens today — carrying the breath of old Paris in every loaf.
