This freeze-dried sourdough starter is made from the same starter we have been using at Sunrise Flour Mill for the past six years. Now, using freeze-dried technology, we are able t o mail samples of this starter nationwide to help people start baking their own delicious and nutritious sourdough bread! Like the well-known San Francisco Sourdough, every sourdough starter has a story, lore, or mythology about its origin. This sourdough strain originally came from Italy. It was brought to us by a friend who came across it while traveling in Bolivia. Her Italian friend in Bolivia told her the starter had been maintained for over 100 years and had some very unique characteristics. Our friend shared some with us and insisted this was a special starter. We quickly discovered it was indeed special, and the rest is history! Show more
