What is sourdough?
Wild yeast. Mother dough. Natural fermentation. So many names for something so special, yet few people know its real secret. Here it is, straight from the heart of our kitchen.
Slow fermentation
Our "Niña" ferments for 48 hours. This slow process builds complex flavours and makes the dough lighter and easier to digest than any commercial pizza.
Daily care
Like any living thing, it needs constant attention. We feed it, watch its temperature and keep an eye on how it behaves. It has been part of our family since 2013.
The secret of the flavour
Natural fermentation creates acids that give it that slightly tangy, aromatic touch. It is what gives every pizza a personality of its own.
"Sourdough is not just a technique, it is a philosophy. It means understanding that the best things in life need time, care and respect for natural processes."
The journey of a passion
