Fresh yeast, also known as compressed yeast or cake yeast, is a natural leavening agent made from living Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. It is cultivated under tightly controlled conditions to ensure reliable performance, high fermentation activity, and consistent baking results. Its moist, crumbly texture and natural leavening strength make it the preferred choice for artisan bakers and professionals alike.
Often considered superior to its dry counterparts in flavour and aroma, fresh yeast is prized for delivering a richer, more nuanced taste in breads, pastries, and fermented doughs. It is compatible with all types of fermentation processes, making it a versatile and effective ingredient in traditional baking.
