Bake with a 4,500-year-old sourdough culture from the pyramids of Giza.
In 1991, an ancient bakery was discovered near the pyramids of Giza, believed to have fed tens of thousands of workers during the construction of these monumental structures around 4500 B.C. A distinguished physician and scientist reached out to a leading archaeologist to collect microbial samples from the walls of the site, hoping to uncover traces of early natural leavening agents. After extensive excavation, he succeeded in isolating what is now known as the Giza sourdough culture. This discovery and the revival of ancient baking methods were featured in the January 1995 issue of National Geographic.

We received our ancient egyptian starter and it came with instructions. Can't wait. I wish it had something on history of sourdough included.
Shipping was fast and she includes specific, easy to follow directions. I am excited to get it going!
So exited to bake with this. I bought the Italian Monastery and the Ancient Egyptian Sourdough Starter. This company is so easy to deal with and will help you thrive with there produces
First time bread maker and I named my starter "The Eye of Doughrus". The instructions were really easy to follow. The starter took a couple extra days to activate because it's winter. I used AI to help me maintain the starter after day 6. I ended up needing to feed it twice a day, but that's okay. The starter is very resilient and fruitful. I was able to bake bread this morning and it came out perfectly. This was a fun and delicious experience
Shipping was quick! Starters are easy to rehydrate and use with the directions included. I am so happy I bought it!
The starter is rehydrating right now and I'm super excited to try it out. The packaging was great but I was a little disappointed it didn't mention the history of the starter in the info packet that came with it. The website included in the instructions had everything though.
Amazing starter great flavour highly recommend!!!
great bread it was a joy to know what bread was like 4500 years ago

Awesome!! added to my "starter" collection :) Great Seller!!
I used distilled water which, I learned, doesn't work for starter. Just bought a gallon of spring water and will try again. Thanks for checking.
Thanks, I appreciate the variety you offer!
Everything was fine, starters came fast with detailed descriptions so that you can start right away. Thank you!
I purchased 4 different dried starters. I’ve tested two with great success and have no doubts the others are equally good.
Just as described, great instructions. Rehydrated easily.
great, strong starter that has helped create some amazing sourdough bread.

This will be my first experience in the sour dough process, but I chose this because of the reviews, plus I love history and these seem to fit both bills! Everything came in great te and was wonderfully packaged. The instructions and history provided are outstanding! I'm very happy with this purchase.

I had an issue with shipping related to my order. I reached out for help, and they were timely and very helpful with resolving the issue. They made sure I would get my order, and they were super kind throughout the whole process.
