Quality sourdough starter
Ordered a sourdough starter. Took a few days for the order to be sent out. I received an email to say order had been completed but no tracking number. I emailed them direct, they replied very quickly with the tracking.
Starter arrived in the post in a plastic bag and paper envelope. Very well packaged.
Quality starter. Followed instructions on the their website, I have made 3 loaves in 2 weeks. Very pleased after failing to make my own starter.

My starter was a bit slow to get going but since then it's been great. I've made three or four loves since and they were delicious.
Well done Sourdough by the Sea.
