Chef James has been using this starter for years and is excited to share with bakers like you! Larry Levain (yes, he has a name) has never been refrigerated and is fed 2x per day, every day. Famously strong, 100% hydrated, shipped stiff.
🍞 BAKE FASTER WITH STARTER 'SHIPPED STIFF'
Why 'shipped stiff'? It slows fermentation activity so that it doesn't develop too much acidity in transit, meaning you'll get a starter that will activate and be ready to bake faster.
🍞 100,000 LOAVES LATER
Unlike random starters you'll find online, this one has actually been used successfully and made more bread than you can imagine!
🍞 NEVER REFRIGERATED & FED DAILY
Since Larry Levain is used so regularly, he's never been refrigerated and is ready to bake with, fast. Your starter has been well-fed for years and will produce great bread for you.
🍞 42 GRAMS OF GOODNESS
Where you'll find others give you 5-15g of starter - you're getting a full 42g for the best efficacy!
Your starter will come ready to feed and bake, with easy to follow instructions. WE SHIP LARRY ON MONDAYS ONLY EVERY WEEK. This is to ensure freshness and timely delivery in the summer heat as it is live, active starter.
As always, if you run into any issues we are ready to help: team@sourdoughgeeks.com

As a new sourdough baker
"As a new sourdough baker I thought my starter was good until I got the starter from sourdough geeks. . a game changer for me…along with lots of research about temperatures, timing, and other dough characteristics I finally baked my first amazing loaf. Highly recommend"

Chef James Beard is sharing
"Chef James Beard is sharing with bakers focused on perfection, the finest and most active Sourdough Starter I have ever used. I started baking bread over seven decades ago. I have used simple instant yeast, and shared starter from friends, but I had not prior to receiving Chef James creation, used a yeast with this much strength. I have baked 1000’s of loaf pan loaves for family in those decades, but could not be more pleased with the vigor of Larry Levain!"

Bread
"I have been having trouble with the rise for wheat bread and to top that off my starter kept molding. So I cleaned house and started over again with a new starter. May not be perfect and that’s ok because I’m pleased with the rise and flavor. Enjoyed your class and thank you, Sallie"
