Fresh Yeast - 1kg

Developed in the mid-19th century, fresh yeast is the oldest commercial form of yeast. It was originally sold as a cream of yeast mixed with a mash, which served as a growth medium. Today fresh yeast, is sold in blocks of cake or compressed yeast that resemble crumbly, cream-colored modeling clay.

Each gram of compressed yeast contains roughly six billion active yeast cells. Fresh yeast has the highest moisture content of any form of baker’s yeast, but also the shortest shelf life. Blocks require refrigeration and last for only 2–3 weeks after opening. However, to extend it's life from weeks to months, pop it in the freezer (in portion sizes).
