Freezing locks in freshness at the peak moment. Freezing helps preserve food quality and makes it easier to enjoy your favourite products when you need them. For ingredients and additives, check the label on each pack.

Keep SOUK products in your freezer at minus eighteen degrees Celsius or below. Once opened, keep them sealed and return them to the freezer quickly. Always check the packaging for specific guidance.

Do not refreeze products after they have fully thawed. If a product has partially thawed but remains cold, cook it thoroughly before eating. When in doubt, follow the instructions on the pack.

Most SOUK products are designed to go straight from freezer to oven or pan. This keeps things simple and preserves texture. Check the instructions on the pack for whether to cook from frozen or thaw first, and for the required cooking time and temperature

Sourdough fermentation is a slow, natural process using wild yeast and bacteria. It develops deeper flavor and a better crumb structure. It takes patience, but the result is worth it.
