Details
Ischia sourdough tends to be more tart than our other sourdough starter cultures. Originating on the island of Ischia off the Gulf of Naples, Italy, it is a great choice for sandwich bread. For best results, we recommend feeding your sourdough starter weekly.
This sourdough starter is available as a dried culture. Dried sourdough starters are shelf stable and do not have to be fed or cared for immediately. Dried sourdough starters can be ready to create baked goods within 3-5 days.

- The description says this is shelf-stable, but I got a "perishable" alert when I ordered. Does this need to be kept in the fridge until use?
- The sourdough starters are dried for safe shipping and can be stored at room temperature for 3 to 4 weeks. We recommend freezing the starters to extend the shelf life to about 12 months.

- Excellent sandwich loaf Review by Travis W
-
This culture makes a great sourdough sandwich loaf! Our starter rises very quickly, and is even somewhat active while "dormant" in the refrigerator. We typically let the loaf rise for approximately 12 hours, then punch it down a second time and let it rise for another four hours. We have baked these loafs multiple times and they never come out too sour. (Posted on May 6, 2013)Quality Price Value
