Lesaffre Saf - Levure Active Dried Yeast (3X125g) Pack

Great results, different flavour from other yeasts I’ve used.Must leave in warm water to reconstitute then add to mix

This is the best yeast I have ever bought. Yes, you have to activate it for 15 min before using it, but it really gives fantastic results every single time. I have been making my own breads for a while now, but since switching to this yeast, they turn out absolutely brilliant each time.Keep the boxes not currently in use in the freezer, which prolongs the freshness, and store the open pack in a dark, cool place.So chuck out that old supermarket yeast and switch to this - you will have great results every time!

Saf-Levure is very good dried yeast, very good results every time resulting in flavoursome bread. I bought a pack of three tins of yeast recently at a good price with 125gr weight in each tin. On arrival all tins had the same use by date of June 2025, a very short date for this yeast. I requested a return/replacement but Amazon said no. I phoned the seller about returning the item or replacing it, I was told they would get back to me but didn’t. Maybe this is because its a food item although it packed in ring pull tins.I believe food items should display use by dates on Amazon.

There’s no doubt that this brand is fantastic & far outclasses the average UK supermarket brand. Takes about 15 mins to hydrate & it works very fast & has a different smell and taste from other brands, just lovely.However the batch we got sent was 21 months old, with 3 months left before expiry date. It went straight into the freezer of course, but it’s a testament to how good this brand is: it still worked pretty well for my pizza dough.Ours was sold by Bakers Street Ltd & dispatched by Amazon; to their credit, Amazon refunded me in full once I contacted them.It’s the best yeast I’ve used, but check expiry dates & always store yeast in the freezer. It will come right back to life after you hydrate it.

Whether this or the 'gold' version, Le Saffre never lets me down. Fantastic yeast

Live dried yeast needs a bit of waking up unlike instant dried yeast but makes a beautiful loaf, I use this one for French baking, Baguette, Pane de Campagne and brioche.

never fails, I tried different ones but they are not consistent in their rising action like this one

I’m a very experienced baker. Tried twice to make starters within three days of receiving this year, and vastly increased the amount in the second starter. Both times far too weak to make a loaf. Item was packed April 2022 and expires April 2024 so not very long dated. It should be a very good product but I’m guessing this has been stored too warm and is now mainly ineffective. I note somebody else reviewed the same issue.. Tried to return it but was told ineligible for return. A waste of £12 and am throwing it away.
