Instant yeast like any otherDec 16, 2007
By Beauzeaux
I don't know where the other reviewer got the idea that this is "compressed yeast." It comes vacuum sealed so it feels like a solid block until you open it. Then it pours and measures like any other yeast. Kept in a sealed container in the freezer, this yeast will remain good for years.I use it for bread every week. At one point I stopped baking for several years and when I went back the yeast (in the freezer) was still good. Apparently the expiration date applies when used by professional bakers who leave the yeast out in open containers.

great productJul 25, 2007
By A. Frank
I was just making pizza dough and noticed that I am down to about a 1/4 cup of this yeast. Then it occured to me that I have been using this same package for TEN YEARS. It is still vital, having been kept in doulbe ziplock freezer bags all this time. It has even survived a move. Is it a good thing to keep it around this long?- I don't know. I can only tell you that it still works! Keeping it dry and in the freezer must be the trick.
I go though phases of baking a lot, then not at all, but there's tons of yeast for your dollar, here. It's a very consistent product, too. It seems to have a much broader tolerance for temperature ranges, so that I don't need to be overly concerned with the exact temperature of the liquids I add it to, nor the temperature of the place I let my dough rise.
Really a great value.

 Yeast RisingMar 11, 2007
By Vera N. Holland
"SMOOTH LADY"
This is a great addition to a baker's kitchen. It can be easily measured out to the precise amount needed, then stored for a very long time. It is not necessary to store the remainder in the refrigerator, just in a cool, dry place.

I love this product!May 26, 2008

"World's Best Gift Giver"
I have tried a few times, unsuccessfully I might add, to make bread by hand using the little store bought packages. They just never turned out. Well while 'window shopping' on Amazon one night, I came across this product. So I figured "What the heck, I will give it one more try, since it is a good price" Figured if I still could not get it right, then I would give it to my dad lol. Well I made a simple yeast bread loaf, from scratch, by hand, using the Le Saffre SAF yeast. IT TURNED OUT PERFECT!!! It rose in half the time, and it was just amazing! I am so proud of myself lol. Since the ONLY thing different in my recipe and technique was the type of yeast, I have to say this yeast made ALL the difference! I can not wait to make more! I highly recommend this product!!!

Best Yeast I've ever usedFeb 22, 2008
By R. Michaux
SAF Yeast is the best yeast I've ever used. Throw out your packets, jar or cakes of Fleischmann's because once you use SAF yeast, you'll never go back.
This yeast is nearly guaranteed to rise EVERY TIME and requires no prepping. Large size (16 oz) stores easily in fridge to keep your yeast fresh.
