Why Bake Sourdough on Valentine's Day?
Showing your love on Valentine's Day could not be easier with sourdough! Gifting something you've made with sourdough is extra special because sourdough takes more time, effort and thought to bake, given the natural fermentation times. Even something simple like sharing a glass of wine and a plate of your favorite cheese and sourdough crackers can be a truly heartfelt sentiment.
If you want to take your sourdough to the next level on Valentine's Day, you could pair it some special homemade cultured butter. Even just simple homemade butter is a gift straight from the heart.
What is the Significance of Valentine's Day?
Valentine's Day, celebrated annually on February 14th, is a cultural and commercial holiday dedicated to love and affection. It is a day when people express their feelings of love, appreciation, and friendship to those dear to them, often through the exchange of cards, gifts, flowers, and romantic gestures.
The origins of Valentine's Day are somewhat obscure and have roots in both Christian and ancient Roman traditions. One popular legend suggests that Valentine's Day is named after Saint Valentine, a Christian martyr who lived during the Roman Empire. According to the story, Saint Valentine defied Emperor Claudius II's decree forbidding soldiers to marry and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret.
While the true historical origins remain uncertain, Valentine's Day has evolved over the centuries and gained widespread popularity as a day to celebrate love and affection in various cultures around the world. Today, it is characterized by expressions of love, the exchange of romantic greetings, and the celebration of relationships.
