Eve
Since 2017
A fascination of an age old way of baking using no artificially processed ingredients. The taste and health benefits.
Characteristics
Eve is extremely reliable and consistent in flavours and performance. She provides flavours that are unique, and that statement is from many who enjoy my bread, including Europeans. They say she has a certain tang they've not experienced before. A local restauranteur who is also an accomplished pastry chef has stated the flavours are as good as any she's had in France.

These flours were the base when I made Eve and I've continued to use them. I like the dependability and performance, but most of all, an easy and consistent supply.
I refresh Eve twice a day religiously, as close to 12 hours apart as real life allows. Normally a 1:2:2 feeding. From that jar, I make all levains to bake approximately 30 loaves a week (on average).

My most common bake is a 67% hydration with ~ 12% WW flour all prefermented in the levain.
Comments
I thank you for the opportunity to possibly have my starter preserved for posterity. I believe I live in an area that may have unique micro-flora because people have told me the flavours are very unique.
