75 Year Old Ancient Grain Einkorn Fresh Sourdough Starter Culture 3.5 Oz

I’m really impressed with this living sourdough starter. It arrived fresh, healthy, and already bubbling. You can tell it comes from a long-standing 75-year-old culture because it becomes active fast and has a really rich aroma. I fed it once, and it doubled in size with no problem. My bread came out soft on the inside with a perfect crust and a nice tangy flavor. I’ve tried other starters before, but this one was by far the most reliable and easiest to maintain. It’s great for beginners but also good if you already bake and just want a strong, well-established starter. Definitely worth it if you want authentic sourdough without the hassle of starting from scratch!

The sourdough arrived live and ready to grow. I followed the instructions and it was fully proofed in about 6 hours in a 60° house. Within 12 hours I had a whole jar ready to bake with. This sourdough is very reliable. It proofs well at 60 to 65°, so a separate proofing box is not necessary. It raises heavy all natural grains, not only einkorn, but also stone ground whole wheat and spelt. I am storing this on my kitchen counter this winter, but I think at warmer temperatures this might need to be stored in the refrigerator. I have tried quite a few other sourdoughs, unsuccessfully. If you want to raise heavy, home ground grains this is the one you want to get. It tastes wonderful as well. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Works great and super easy to use, just follow the instructions. Makes great tasting bread, too, even if you don't have a bread maker and are just using the oven; subtle flavor that works with anything. Includes detailed instructions on how to bring the starter back to life after shipment, and how to feed it. I love that it comes from a real small business and not just an Amazon warehouse...you can tell the business cares about its product and customers.

Super easy to use and I have great flavor every time

Received this about a week earlier than originally stated which was awesome. I followed the directions upon receiving and was super happy with the results. This starter became active on the first feeding and has continued to perform. I have had to use a much larger container for feedings as it triples in volume every time and then settles down to double. I only feed the starter with Sunrise Flour Mill Heritage White Flour and use other flours as recipes require from what I pull off. So far I have made English muffins and waffles from the discard. I hadn’t anticipated it being active and ready for use so quickly, but our family is very happy with the flavor and quality.

This is a marvelous starter. I ordered the Einhorn starter. When I first opened it, it had a distinctive scent I was looking for. I followed the directions, and within four hours, I saw significant bubbles. I fed it again and a third time just to make sure. A fantastic starter. I would not hesitate to order from them again. I did play with the directions a bit, since I use a scale and went with 50 grams of water and 50 grams of Einhorn flour, but everything worked splendidly.

Incredible!! I’d killed a dehydrated starter before trying this one, but this was so much easier. It was ready to cook with within a few days and was so “active” I accidentally overproofed my first loaf—which is a lovely problem to have! So excited to have homemade sourdough einkorn bread!

I received the starter in the mail yesterday. This was my very first time attempting to make bread. I fed the starter according to the directions that came with it, and it became active immediately. This morning, I fed it again, and then used it in a recipe for sourdough einkorn bread. The bread turned out amazing! I was really scared to try to make sourdough bread, but it was actually very simple even though it had a lot of steps to it. The instructions really helped, and having the starter already made took a lot of the stress out of it. I also had a couple of questions when I first received it, and the owner of the company answered right away and was very helpful. I would definitely recommend this product!
