A living thing, paused.
Inside the jar is an established wild culture — cultivated and fed by hand on four organic flours, then dried slowly so every native strain survives. Add flour and water, and it wakes back up: the same culture it always was.

Live Sourdough Starter · 0.35 oz (10 g)
We list what we leave out.
This jar holds a wild sourdough culture and nothing else — no preservatives, no stabilizers, no commercial yeast. It is fed on organic whole wheat, rye, 00 and einkorn flours with reverse-osmosis water, then dried at low temperature to keep it alive.
To revive it you need two things: unbleached flour and filtered water. In a glass jar, in a warm corner of the kitchen, it returns to bubbling life over a few days — ready to raise bread for years to come.
From flakes to your first loaf
The three days, then forever.
1Day 1
Rehydrate
Stir the flakes into 3 tablespoons of warm water and let them sit for an hour. Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour — loose and soupy is right. Cover loosely, keep warm.
2Day 2
First feed
A few bubbles may appear. No discard today — stir in 2 tablespoons of flour and 1 of water, to a thick pancake batter. Cover, keep warm.
3Day 3
Watch it rise
Discard to a tablespoon, feed as yesterday. It should bubble, rise and smell tangy. When it doubles within 4–8 hours of a feed, it's bake-ready.
The full protocol — ratios, temperatures, troubleshooting — ships printed in every box. It’s also online.
The proof
A culture you can see.
Active, bubbling and ready to rise — then yours to keep alive for years. Kept fed, a healthy starter outlives every packet of yeast you’ve ever bought. You only ever buy it once.
