I was gifted Cornelius by an old woman in Iceland and now through workshops I teach about sourdough, everyone receives a piece of Cornelius - so he spreads around the world and is baked by hundreds!

Characteristics

158 years old and counting! Due to this program, we couldnt show his actual age as it only went so far back. Picked up on the microbial circus tour 2016 in Iceland. he migrated in 1865 from the Basque Country via boat to iceland. this is how we know that he is so old.
