Short-Dated Agrano Bioreal Organic Fresh Yeast 1kg

Agrano Bioreal Organic fresh yeast in a handy 42g cube, or larger 1kg blocks for bakeries, this yeast has been made to the very highest standards, without chemical additives and all ingredients are guaranteed to be non-GMO.

Selected yeast strains are cultured in a medium of organic grain and clean spring water at Agrano's laboratory in Germany. All microorganisms and raw materials used are guaranteed to be GMO-free in accordance with EC Directive 834/2007. No chemical additives are used during the fermentation process and pure organic sunflower oil is used as an anti-foaming agent. There is no need to wash BIOREAL® organic yeast in production saving resources. Steam is used for sterilisation, rendering disinfectant unnecessary.

In our own tests, we found that the fresh yeast should be used in the same quantities as the non-organic fresh (compressed) yeast (between 10-15g for 500g flour), or twice the weight of dried yeast, (not 1 42g cube for 500g flour as the manufacturer suggests). The flavour is significantly better than the non-organic variety which is designed purely for fast fermentation rather than developed flavour.

Application: Use in the same way as non-organic fresh yeast, for best results, dissolve in the liquid at around 28C.

Storage: Fresh yeast has a fairly short shelf-life, but can be used after the best before date perfectly well

Keep the unused yeast in your fridge: it should not be frozen.

Suitable for: vegetarians and vegans. Certified kosher.

Ingredients: Water soluble, food-grade, organic grain-fed yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Possible traces of cereals containing gluten (wheat, rye, barley, oat, spelt, durum or hybrid strains thereof).
