Leaven

San Diego, CA

Leaven is a natural products brand from San Diego, CA with 4 products on Beacon Discovery, mostly shelf stable baking ingredients. Its range is distributed by Not in Distribution.

Leaven Foods began in 2023 in San Diego when founder and microbiologist Cameron Martino set out to make sourdough as easy as instant yeast. Starting in a backyard lab and partnering with leading bakers, Cameron captured the living wild yeast and lactic-acid bacteria of true sourdough in a dry, concentrated format. Today, Leaven's instant sourdough cultures help home bakers, restaurants, and large producers bake naturally fermented bread and pizza with consistent results, no feeding or maintenance required.
