Innovation
Lesaffre prepares for the future with a deliberately innovative approach
Keeping a constant eye on current markets, Lesaffre chose to place innovation at the focal point of its business strategy, and has done so for many years. The objective is to create new products or improve existing ones. At the same time, developing optimised production techniques and adopting the latest technologies to emerge from fundamental Group research are equally important.
At Lesaffre, everybody is a creator of innovation. This goes for marketing teams, industrial management, and of course the R&D Department. Work of this calibre calls for the implementation of specialised, dedicated teams.
Lesaffre has launched Kastalia 1:1, a new formula of liquid yeast intended specifically for craft bakers. Thanks to the "1 kg of compressed yeast = 1 kg of liquid yeast" equation, the measurements are simplified. The movements and the recipes do not change. This is the strength of this innovation
Kastalia 1:1 is a stable high quality yeast that performs well in all bakery implementations: bread and Danish pastries, in immediate or delayed bread making. The refrigerated distribution system associated with Kastalia 1:1 yeast ensures a practical, precise and safe use of yeast. The product balances the craft bakers’ need for simplicity and the demands that they are up against on a daily basis.
