When I got the starter, my first thought was "wow, I didn't realise how small amount 80g is". Starter was well packaged, promptly delivered, and after I've got it in bowl and added some water and flour, I left it to work it's magic. And magic it surely has. As it turned out, 80g is plenty to get you going, and I've been using it all the time. I keep it on the counter top, keep adding water and flour, and 2 - 3 times a week I make something delicious out of it. My go to seems to be (at least for the time being) sourdough "crumpets", quick, easy and so tasty. The starter gives great taste to your baked goods, is good quality, and you get also a leaflet about how to take care of it. Next I need to try to use some of it in a cake. Weird, I know, but there are so many recipes to try. Whatever you want to bake, bread, rolls, crumpets, cake (I assume) you get well your money's worth. I recommend you to give it a go, it's a lot easier than you think. I would also recommend to get a wooden dough bowl for it, and learn how to keep sourdough starter in wooden container to get the traditional benefits of the bowl too.Read full review

I originally thought this starter looked good, but despite following instructions it has become unviable. You will find it far easier to start your own culture, as I did. In six days it was far more active than the culture I was sent. I'm not sure how they can claim it is that old either, or what proof they have of that fact. I now realise what a good,healthy culture ought to smell like, and it only took six days to get going from scratch.Save yourself a fiver and start your own.

Really good quality, I had no trouble at all feeding and growing my starter. I have made a number of loaves with it and each of them have been excellent. The culture is very active and is now enjoying life in my fridge! The instructions are simple and easy to follow too! Would highly recommend.

My first experience with sourdough live starter. Seems to be working and bread tastes great. The supplier has been very helpful. Practise makes perfect but so far pretty good for a novice! I like that it's a mature stater as it's more robust and easier to use it seems than new starters.

I'm beyond thrilled with this starter, I'm a complete novice to bread making and especially sourdough's. The starter arrived on time, very well packaged and with excellent instructions for feeding and using it. I was so excited to make my first sourdough loaf and didn't have too high expectations. I fed the starter as instructed and my the next morning had a lively, fruity smelling active starter. My first loaf was a great success, great crumb, good crust and an a wonderfully authentic sourdough taste. I cant wait to bake this weeks loaves.
