Meet our 118 Year Old Sourdough Starter


That changed my life and my baking journey, and I know will do the same for you!

I know how frustrating building a starter from scratch can be, and how defeating it can feel when you don’t get good sourdough bread right away. But when I inherited this robust, 118 year old starter 18 years ago, my sourdough game transformed overnight. Perfect for international customers, or anyone who wants to keep a backup (recommended).

 *Sprinkling some of this in an existing sluggish starter will give it a MAJOR BOOST!*

 

📦 International Customers:  Please be sure to include your phone number at checkout.

The Story Behind “The Bitch”

This starter has been alive since 1907 and has only lived in three households—mine included. I received the last remaining portion of her as a birthday gift from my half-brother. It belonged to his grandmother and had already been in her family for a century.

At the time, I had just finished culinary school and was working as a young chef in San Francisco. One of the books that inspired me to become a chef as a child—Kitchen Confidential by the late Anthony Bourdain—told a story about a starter named “The Bitch.” She made incredible bread. So does ours.

This starter is a piece of our family, and we’re honored to share her with you. When she arrives in your home, we encourage you to name her—make her part of your own story. She’s meant everything to us, and we know she’ll mean something to you too.
