Duccio is a rather mysterious little sourdough, coming to us from the secluded Camaldoli Monastery in Tuscany.  Legend states that he could be over a thousand years old, being in continual use since the monastery was first built. He is light and has a complex and delicate sourness profile, and he tolerates being overworked fairly well.  For this reason, he makes excellent pizzas and ciabattas, as well as standard boules.  He's a very active grower, and will easily double after every feed once mature.

J. Davenport’s Famous Sourdough Starter has an ever-expanding range of premium, historic, and extremely active dried sourdough starters.  From sourdoughs that fed the French Revolution to sourdoughs that defined the San Francisco Gold Rush, we supply an impressive library of important, historical, and delicious sourdough starters.  We believe that the magic of a good sourdough isn’t just in the baking, but also in the decades or centuries of its cultivation and survival.  Our sourdough starters each tell their own unique story and have their own important places in history, and these amazing stories can now include your family! 

Our sourdough starters are 100% guaranteed to grow, as long as you follow the directions in your pamphlet.  We have made the process of growing your new starter as easy as possible, so they’re perfect for a beginner or a professional alike.  If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach us through eBay, and we’ll be thrilled to help. 

To quote J. Davenport: “Make history. And then eat it!”
