Highly recommend

It was very easy to activate the sour dough with the instructions they instructed. I am very happy. Bread tastes great and we also made a lot of things with the discard. Very good taste and very active starter

Strong started with good properties

The delivery arrived in a timely manner.
Instructions to revive were easy to follow, and I had a strong starter within a week.
First bake was a success.

Instant Boost!

This starter performed exactly as expected - fast and furious. Even the discard keeps growing! I used it to recharge other multi-grain starters I also maintain and was having trouble keeping consistent. Bread rose easily even with open bake.
