The media could not be loaded. I’m so happy with this sourdough starter! It arrived fresh with no bad smell at all, and I could tell right away it was alive and healthy. I’ve kept it going for several weeks now, and it’s been super active the whole time. After each feeding, it doubles in size and is always ready to bake with. The texture is perfect—smooth, elastic, and easy to work with. It’s also very sturdy and resilient, even after missed feedings or schedule changes. It’s made baking so enjoyable and I love knowing I’m working with something natural and full of life. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to start their sourdough journey with confidence!

This starter is wonderful. My post office has very short hours of operation so my starter sat in the post office for 4 days after delivery before I could pick it up and it became ready to use after the second feed, quadrupling in size after feeds. I have never seen a sourdough starter that is this healthy and strong before.It took me 2 days after it arrived to go get the right flour because I realized the flour I had stored in my pantry was infested with weevils and I live in the mountains 2 hours away from anywhere that sells the right flour. So the starter went 6 days without a feed and was ready to bake after 2 feeds!The seller is also wonderful, I contacted them when I realized my flour can’t be used to see if another type of flour I had would work and they were very prompt and helpful with their response.This is a fabulous deal, honestly I would pay $50 for a tablespoon of it if that’s what they charged but they are selling it for a very generous price. Buy this starter, you can beat it up and it will survive.

This is an amazing live and very strong starter! 100% gluten free with rice flour. It took a week to get to me, but it came back to life after 1 feeding! I have made some wonderful bread with it, tastes great and had a great crumb for GF.

Couldn’t be happier with this product. First starter I’ve ever bought or used, I went with the Black Death starter.It arrived early. It was revived and active by the next day after the initial feeding. It was fresh and smelled amazing. I fed it once more just to be sure it was going strong and then made a loaf. This was less than three days after receiving it. The bread is spectacular - great flavor & texture, and really fun to make. Highly recommend this company for a quality starter that has so much history behind it.

I never leave reviews ever but I felt it was needed for this. I tried another gluten free culture before this one and it failed it never bubbled had hard to follow instructions and overall a waste of very expensive flour. However this one was AMAZING on day 2 it already doubled in size and was super fluffy. The instructions were easy to follow and by day 3 I was able to make Gluten free bagels and I currently have a loaf proofing. I fed the culture the day I got it per the instructions at first I was unsure because it had a thicker consistency but one day two it was almost to big for the jar that I had to move it to a bigger jar as seen in the photos. I would totally recommend this to any Gluten free person trying to make sourdough. I also used King Arthur Gluten free bread flour for mine it recommends not using a flour with Xanthum gum in it but it worked perfectly fine.

Good starter. Follow directions to get it growing and you will have no issues.

“I’m obsessed with this sourdough starter! The bread turned out so flavorful, with a perfect texture and that true homemade taste. It took a little time to prep, but the result was 100% worth it. I’m already experimenting with different flours. Such a fun experience — perfect for moms who love to create in the kitchen!”
