Authentic 233-Year-Old San Francisco Sourdough Starter: Verified Heritage Starter and Rise Sonora

1) does not come as pictured.2) product description states 3.0 oz and total is 5.0 oz. When I weighed it on my scale it was only 2.0 oz.3) wasn’t sealed properly as it leaked in the box, and it wasn’t even packed to where the product couldn’t move.4) nothing to keep it cool from the time I ordered it to the time it arrived and it was over 5 days.5) came with no instructions in the box had to scan a QR code just to get any kind of instructions. States that it needs to be fed upon arrival and ready to bake in 4-12hrs after first feed. Problem is 2.0 is not enough to bake with let alone there was no bubbles in it tiny jar it came in, just completely flat.

I was a little concerned when my starter arrived because it had leaked and the jar was a bit messy, but I figured I would try it out and see if I had enough to keep it going. This starter is great! It is super active and rises quickly. I've made several loaves now and they are all delicious. This starter rises so much more quickly than my old one. In just a couple of hours after feeding it, it doubles in size and is ready to make a dough. Would definitely buy this again if needed.

I usually read reviews, I guess I didn't this time. The first review I saw said:NOT WORTH THE BUY1) does not come as pictured.2) product description states 3.0 oz and total is 5.0 oz.

I was alittle worried at first with as warm as it was when I order this and knowing it was going to be shipped to me it was shipped in days of warm weather. When I got it, it was flat. I added it to a jar and feed it with 100g water and 100g of flour. More then doubled over night feed one more time and made a loaf of bread . I’ve made more bread and pizza dough as well. Just feed and make bread.

I’m not new to sourdough. this starter came looking very inactive dull and without any sign of life. Instructions was also hassle to get to. sending my email then getting the info. I followed every step fed the starter. It said wait 4 to 12 hrs I kept checking so I didn’t miss if it grew in size. Unfortunately never did. Not even a single bubble on the starter. Did not rise at all. Extremely disappointed

Pretty small amount of starter is provided, but enough to get my own going. Otherwise good.

I am very disappointed with this starter. It was my first time and can't believe I ordered this. Very disappointing. Not worth the money.

This product states it comes with complete instructions. Ha- joke is on me!You have to scan a code; then give them your email address to get anything close to information. Once the email comes, you are told you need more products and the instructions are hard to understand! No recipes are included at all.I’m VERY disappointed!
