When it comes to baking sourdough, not all containers are created equal—and at Mulberry Market Co., we believe the tools you use should be just as beautiful and intentional as the process itself.
That’s why we love (and highly recommend!) our Le Parfait glass preserving jars—crafted in France since 1930 and designed to blend function, tradition, and sustainability in one simple, stunning vessel. Available in multiple sizes, these jars are an everyday essential for sourdough starters, pantry storage, gifting, and so much more.
Why They’re a Game-Changer for Sourdough
If you’re maintaining a sourdough starter, the material of your container truly matters—and here’s where these jars shine:
1. Non-Reactive Material
Sourdough is naturally acidic, and certain materials (like some metals or plastics) can react over time, impacting both the flavor and health of your starter. Glass is a non-reactive material, which means your starter stays pure and untouched—just as it should be.
2. Visibility & Monitoring
One of the best ways to gauge the health of your sourdough starter is by watching it—literally. With a clear glass jar, you can see the bubbles form, track the rise and fall, and know exactly when it’s ready to use. No guesswork needed.
3. Easy to Clean
Sourdough maintenance doesn’t have to be messy. These jars are dishwasher safe, scratch-resistant, and won’t hold onto odors or stains over time, making them both practical and hygienic.
More Than Just a Sourdough Jar
These jars are incredibly versatile—perfect for anyone who loves a tidy pantry or thoughtful gifting. We love using them for:
-
Homemade jams & preserves
-
Pickling garden veggies
-
Storing dry goods like flour, oats, or coffee
-
Creating beautiful homemade gift jars
With their airtight natural rubber seal, stainless steel clamp, and timeless straight-body design, Le Parfait jars are both functional and beautiful enough to keep on your countertop.
Sustainable & Timeless
Crafted with all-natural glass and a commitment to long-lasting quality, these jars are a sustainable choice for anyone looking to reduce waste and invest in kitchen staples that will stand the test of time.
They’re microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe, and designed to be reused for years—supporting both your healthy lifestyle and a healthier planet.
