Yeast & Bread-making

Yeasts

Lesaffre has developed various forms of yeast to meet the needs of bakers around the world. Yeast is used fresh or dried according to the country concerned, its traditions and its environment. When dehydrated, yeast can endure climatic conditions which are sometimes extremely harsh. It is often marketed in this form in Africa, Asia or the Middle East.
For its part, fresh yeast is often used in countries with a highly developed cool chain logistics system. Crumbled, liquid or frozen yeast is well adapted to certain specific industrial processes.
Lesaffre is the leading player in the yeast market with a range of brands widely recognized by bakers for their performance and consistency. Among these, saf-instant is world renowned for its quality in the dried yeast market. Lesaffre's traditional brand "l'hirondelle" has been used by generations of bakers since 1895. This is the world's most widely used brand of compressed yeast.
