    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.

      So excited!

      So happy with my sourdough starter! I've been wanting to make sourdough bread forever and this little sourdough starter inspired me to just do it. I followed the simple instructions to feed it and the Jovial videos to make the bread and it all worked! It came out beautiful and tastes delicious! Thank you Jovial!

      Yes Yes Yes!!

      I am gluten intolerant but not celiac. I was thrilled when I learned about Einkorn and quickly discovered I could eat it with no issues. I tried my own starter but did not have enough patience to wait for it to be mature enough for a great crumb. When I saw the starter I immediately purchased. I only had to refresh daily for a week and now I am making boules that are perfect. Thank you for sharing this piece of history with us.

      Carla Lives On

      I was successful using Carla's instructions for a starter, but wanted some of Jovial. It came in small jar and enjoyed its first feeding, ready for bread baking. I fed it a few times more, then dried it so I would have it for later use, an incorporation into my own homemade starter. I was crushed, when in 2024 I googled the lovely Carla, looking for more videos, only to find out she had passed. I support Jovial in her memory.

      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.
