    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.

      Lovely little starter

      This starter is a small jar that packs a big punch!

      The instructions provided are clear and easy to follow which is perfect for a sourdough novice like me. This starter and the discard made through the recipe provided is certainly on the dryer side (so I started a second discard with a higher hydration) which I used to make bagels and zucchini bread, both which turned out pretty great, if I do say so myself.

      I haven’t made bread from this starter yet, but I am planning on trying to make the no knead loaf from the preview of cookbook on the website.

      Sourdough bread making.

      Jovial's Einkorn Sourdough Starter was just what I needed to make my own sourdough bread. You can really taste the flavor of sourdough in the bread I made! Great Product!

      Sourdough starter

      I fed this follow the directions, but I can never get it to roll into a ball like they have in the picture. I think you should make a video of how you do it on YouTube. Thank you.

      Hi Kathy!
      happy to reship or help on the phone or via email. Einkorn is a bit different than modern wheat- want to be sure you know what you are looking for after a starter refresh.

      I love sourdough!

      I have wanted to try my hand at sourdough for some time but have talked myself out of it because it seemed very intimidating. I finally decided to give it an go and ordered the einkorn starter. I followed the very simple instructions that were included. I have made 3 loaves and 3 batches of discard crackers so far. Thank you, Jovial for making it easy enough for me to follow and not feel overwhelmed!
