Baker’s yeast serves as a crucial leavening agent in baking bread and other bakery products. Within the dough, it converts fermentable sugars into carbon dioxide, a small amount of ethanol, and aromatic compounds. Beyond leavening, baker’s yeast contributes to the nutritional value, taste, and texture of baked goods.

Initially all baker’s yeast starts out as ‘cream yeast’. This is a form of yeast where the yeast cells are suspended in a liquid solution.
Our cream yeast system is suitable for automated, high-volume bakeries.
Lallemand Baking Cream Yeast offers:
- convenience and accurate, consistent dosing for automated baking processes
- better dispersion in the dough
- high levels of hygiene with less handling
- sustainability benefits, with no packaging and waste
Compressed and Crumble yeast is processed one step further than cream yeast. Compressed yeast is characterized by a high moisture content and is compressed into a block. Crumble yeast refers to a form of yeast that is broken down into small, granular pieces. These forms of yeast are suitable for baking across all bakeries.
The Lallemand Baking Compressed/Crumble yeast offers:
-
- ease of use
- consistent quality
- easy handling and scaling
Lal^Ferm® is our global brand for fresh yeast.
Instant yeast is a form of yeast in which the yeast cells are dehydrated into granules. The yeast remains dormant in this dry format and activated when in contact with moisture during mixing.
The Lallemand Baking Instant Yeast offers:
- ease of transportation and storage – no refrigeration required.
- convenience and easy handling
Instaferm® is our global dry yeast brand.
