Gluten-free sourdough with over 200 years of San Francisco heritage.

This is our classic San Francisco starter, carefully converted and maintained using only certified organic gluten-free flours. Same legendary lineage, same wild yeast culture, just without the gluten.

Our starter is gently dehydrated at low temperatures to preserve its strength and microbial vitality. It reactivates easily and becomes strong, bubbly, and resilient with proper care.

Important: This starter is recommended for individuals with gluten intolerance, but is not suitable for those with celiac disease, as it is processed in a kitchen that also handles gluten.

Only organic gluten-free flours
Hydro-filtered, chemical-free water
Zero preservatives or artificial ingredients
Always dairy-free, egg-free, and allergen-aware

What's included:

Step-by-step gluten-free activation and baking guide with recipes

Perfect! I totally suck at following directions and messed up on step 1! But this was a strong starter and day 2 I still had a ton of growth! I recently lost my starter after a trip and am so glad I purchased this to give myself a head start! Easy directions & helpful tips & recipes.

UPDATE 3/13/26
Wow! This is my first try with sourdough starter and I’m obsessed. I’m watching so many videos and have really grasped the “look and feel” opposed to the clock. Going to experiment with different flours next.

Of course I can’t really review on overall quality yet (has to be revived) BUT I’m pretty confident it will be great. It actually smelled more fragrant than what I tried previously from the get go. The instructions and all of the information on the website is great! However, I don’t know why they didn’t check with me before leaving the shop for a few days, lol. I bake a lot of yeast breads but this is my first real try at sourdough. Will update review once I succeed with a perfect and beautiful loaf.
