All About Manny's Choice Camaldoli Sourdough Starter

An authentic Italian Camaldoli sourdough culture — lively, ultra-bubbly, and pleasantly mild, without the sharp sourness that scares off first-time bakers.

Active and forgiving, it wakes up quickly with a feeding and rewards you with open, airy crumb and a gentle tang. Wonderful for rustic loaves, and especially good for pizza crust and bakes where you want lift and flavor without an aggressive sour bite.

Our Story

Rooted in Tradition

Our sourdough starter traces to the Camaldoli monastery in Italy, where living cultures have been kept alive for generations. It's mild and ultra-bubbly — forgiving enough for a first-time baker, characterful enough for a seasoned one. Paired with Manny's Choice European flour, it's everything you need to bring authentic Italian sourdough into your own kitchen.

"This make the Best Sourdough. It really reminds me of the bread in Italy!"
