Meet Our 118-Year-Old Live Sourdough Starter
That changed my life and my baking journey—and I know she’ll do the same for you!
I know how frustrating building a sourdough starter from scratch can be, and how defeating it feels when your bread doesn’t turn out. But everything changed for me the day I inherited this robust, 118-year-old live starter. My sourdough game transformed overnight 18 years ago—and yours can too.
This is a LIVE, ready to feed and bake with sourdough starter. Perfect for anyone that can’t wait to start their sourdough journey!

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.
