I have been reading the ingredients on breads from bakeries. You can order them like from Boudin in SF. The only list flour, water salt. Is it the starter that is responsible for keeping the freshness? Since there are no conditioners or additives to keep it fresh.

Using Real Sourdough helps the bread keep longer.  Easy isn't it?

Thank you !!! I use a small amount of oil and assumed that was what was keeping my bread fresher longer however I know that my sourdough last much longer than my yeasted breads.
