About Us
Welcome to Bella Sourdough - made for bella, baked for all.
Hi, I'm Giovanna – baker, mum, and founder of Bella Sourdough.
What started as a home experiment (involving flour-covered benches and lots of trial and error) quickly turned into a passion—and now, a microbakery that feeds families across our community.
If you’ve ever had a loaf of sourdough that made you pause mid-bite and go “woah”, that’s what I’m aiming for.
This bakery is run by me—with my daughter often watching or taste-testing (she’s got strong opinions!). Every loaf is shaped by hand, fermented slowly, and baked with love from my home kitchen using traditional methods and top-quality local ingredients.
I am originally from Spain and my roots shape everything I bake in my microbakery. I use heritage grains such as tritordium, an incredible cereal grain from Spain (but grown locally) known for its digestibility and nutty flavour.
What We Believe In
What Makes Our Bread Different?
All our sourdough is:
✔ Naturally leavened using my homemade 100% hydration sourdough starter (aka Mirabella) – no commercial yeast.
✔ Cold-fermented for 24+ hours for deep flavour and digestibility.
✔ Made with 100% Australian flour, locally grown and milled to order.
✔ Vegan-friendly (unless we’re baking something cheesy or chocolatey!)
✔ I don’t bake every day. I bake for flavour, for feel, and for families.
My menu is small and seasonal. When something’s gone, it’s gone!!!
