Here is “Sofias” origin story told to me by my father. I will give you guys a shorter version of the story to keep it from being too long. My great-grandfather Antonio, who is originally from Sicily, Italy, migrated to New York when he was 10 with my great-great-grandfather, great-great-grandmother and siblings in the very early 1900s. They lived in New York for about 10 years, where my great-great-grandfather worked construction on bridges. Around 1910 they migrated west to San Francisco where my great-great and great-grandfather worked as fisherman at Fisherman’s Wharf. They worked as deckhands. Around 1916 my great-grandfather, Antonio, quit working as a deckhand and started working as a baker. This is where he acquired our family sourdough starter. He named the sourdough starter after his wife “Sofia”. Since then “Sofia” has been passed down to my grandfather, Marco, and then to my father, Anthony, and now to me. Sofia has been in our family ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199284527171\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.8 x 3.9 x 0.2 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"trendyyboxer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48680739602683,"sku":"B0F6F9B2ZG","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/4066\/6619\/files\/71AMVqTAakL.jpg?v=1776911135","url":"https:\/\/trendyyboxer.com\/products\/100-year-old-san-francisco-sourdough-starter-our-great-grandfathers-starter-from-1916-easy-to-follow-instructions-includes-detailed-instructions-and-recipe","provider":"trendyyboxer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
