This is great!!
At the Rosenhill Sourdough Hotel in Stockholm, fermented dough isn’t just stored—it’s pampered. Guests (or rather, their owners) check in their precious starters, each with unique microbial personalities. The staff maintains optimal temperature, hydration, and feeding schedules to keep the wild yeast and bacteria active and healthy.
Some starters are decades old and passed down through generations. Others are brand new. Either way, this quirky service ensures no starter dies of neglect while its owner relaxes on holiday. It’s a delicious blend of Scandinavian hospitality, fermentation science, and culinary devotion. 🍞🏨
