Pierre is one of the oldest sourdough starters we offer, having
been traced back all the way to 1790 Paris. He is light and sweet and
handles a steamed crust beautifully. He doesn’t have the sourest flavor
profile, but this makes him perfect for many desert breads as well as more
standard loaves and batons. He’s extremely active and will often more
than double in size after feeding, so give him lots of room to grow.
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!”
