Sourdough starter does improve with age overtime and the longer you keep the sourdough starter the better the flavor gets.

However after about 10 years the sourdough doesn't get much better with age and there won't be much of a difference between 50 or 100 year old sourdough starter and the 10 year old starter.

Sourdough starter can be kept for many years without going bad and if you keep the sourdough starter for up to 10 years then the flavor improves.

But after the 10 years there's not much improvement in the flavor or much improvement in the sourdough starter itself.

But you can use very old sourdough starter and still get great results.

Most people use the sourdough starter well before 10 years but I've heard of some people keeping it for over 50 years.

Sourdough Starter does improve some with age so the longer you keep the sourdough starter the better the flavor of the bread will be.

When properly stored the sourdough starter will last quite a long time.
