Characteristics
My starter is 23 years old. It has a very distinct aroma that I can recognize even when I change the types of flours it is feeding off of or the percentages. It is a very active and resilient starter that has survived being forgotten about, frozen, and dried during its lifetime. Its a trooper and I love it.
