    The Story of Jovial and Einkorn

    When Carla and Rodolfo had the idea of growing einkorn wheat, there was very little of this grain being cultivated worldwide, so they had to coordinate the farming themselves. Their search led us to this farm, where they had been growing ancient varieties of oats, barley, emmer, lentils, and chick peas for over thirty years. They had never planted einkorn before, and now, only a few years later, we are working together on this project in a perfect partnership committed not only to what we are growing, but how we grow it.

      First time sourdough baker here!

      I want to thank Lauren at Jovial for all hersupport and guidance with the Jovial Sourdough Starter.

      I'm happy to say I made my first sourdough bread and it turned out lovely!

      I live at high altitude and had zero issues with baking sourdough using Jovial Einkorn flour. I followed the super helpful videos on youtube with the lovely Carla who made the process so clear and easy.

      I'm so very pleased with everything from Jovial: products, wonderful youtube videos and the outstanding customer support. You all should be very proud of the uniquely wonderful family owned

      company you continue to nourish & grow.

      With deep gratitude🙏

      I like the Starter

      I've always made my own starter and found that you guys created a starter and so I wanted to try it and I like how it's easy to use but the only thing. I don't like is that the video and the instructions are a little confusing on whether or not how many times you're supposed to feed it. Is it a week-long's worth of feeding or 3 days? That's why it's a 4 stars🙂

      Hi Rachel
      if you purchased our starter then it should only need 1-2 refreshes to be ready to bake. There is a starter video on our site that shows how to make your own from scratch. If you are making your own it will take longer until you can bake with it.

      Exceptional

      I fed the starter as clearly written instructions came with the starter. First sourdough levain was great and I know with continued use maturity of the starter will continue to taste, well, exceptionally delicious. Picture is basically Ciabatta sourdough made with roasted garlic and fig.

      Love Jovial Einkorn

      I am loving my new Einkorn sourdough bread. I am still learning and experimenting, but it's fun and very tasty bread. Einkorn has been great for me because I am gluten-sensitive. It is a perfect flour for my breads and chocolate chip cookies!!

      Sourdough Starter

      After a couple of weeks of feeding the einkorn sourdough starter I made the levain one evening. The next morning I followed the einkorn sandwich loaf recipe. It took a total of 9 hours for the dough to rise enough to bake. It turned out very good on my first try. I am hoping for a quicker and taller rise on my next loaf.
