27 years of the same sourdough starter — traditional baking from Glasgow’s East End
About Wheatberry Bakery
Wheatberry Bakery started small, baking out of a family garage in Glasgow’s East End. The starter culture they use today has been kept alive and fed for 27 years — older than most bakeries on the high street, and a direct link back to traditional, unhurried bread-making rather than the fast-proved loaves that fill most supermarket shelves.
No dough conditioners, no artificial raising agents, no shortcuts to speed up fermentation — just flour, water, salt and time, the way bread was made before industrial baking optimised the process down to hours instead of days.
A 27-year-old starter is also a living record of consistency: the same culture, carried forward daily, rather than a product reformulated every time a supplier changes.

Why We Recommend Wheatberry Bakery
27 Years, One Starter
Longevity like this can’t be manufactured or bought — it’s the result of daily care, repeated for nearly three decades.
Family Roots
Starting in a family garage rather than a commercial test kitchen means the recipes were refined for taste first, not shelf life or manufacturing speed.
