What is Fresh Yeast?

  • Fresh yeast comes in liquid, crumbled, and compressed forms.
  • Each of these forms has different particle sizes and can be easily added during the mixing process.

In Indonesia and across APAC, compressed fresh yeast is the preferred choice for both industrial and craft bakers due to its practicality, reliability, and consistent fermentation performance.

Fresh Yeast Characteristics

The rich flavour that fresh yeast provides is just one of its many advantages:

No activation or hydration needed — simply incorporate into your dough.
Higher perishability compared to dry or frozen yeast, making proper storage essential.
Must be stored below 10 °C, requiring an established cold chain for transport and handling.

How Can You Use fresh yeast?

Use Lesaffre Indonesia’s fresh yeast products to achieve rich flavours, excellent fermentation, and delicious results across a wide range of bread recipes.

Because fresh yeast has a shorter shelf life and is best used within a week when stored in the refrigerator, it's the ideal choice for frequent baking or preparing large batches, such as during the holidays.

This is why fresh yeast is also known as a "special occasion yeast".

Professional bakers consider fresh yeast the best option for bread, as it adds a more robust flavour.

To use it in a recipe that calls for dry yeast, double the amount. Then, crumble it and let it soften and dissolve in whatever liquid the recipe calls for (warm the liquid to just lukewarm) before adding it to your dry ingredients.

Always soften or dissolve fresh yeast in liquids before mixing to ensure even distribution throughout the dough.

Why Choose Fresh Yeast?

Achieve excellent results in every bake with the unique advantages of fresh yeast.

Easy-to-Use

Can be incorporated directly into your dough with no preparation required.

Versatility

Perfect for a wide range of baking applications, from artisanal loaves to commercial production.

Stability

Fresh yeast maintains stability and optimal performance for up to two weeks when stored at 4 °C.
