Rises to the occasion!
It's fresh, it's active and it makes an excellent loaf of bread. It arrives with a cooling pack and always within a few days of placing the order. There are twelve 42gram cubes in the pack and that gives me enough for 18 loaves of bread, before I order some more. I use 4 fresh from the pack on arrival and freeze 8. They have a few hours at room temperature to bring them back to life and they then behave as if they were fresh from "Bonbouffe". I have been using this yeast for many years now since it is impossible to buy it locally. Highly recommended.

Tasty and highly energetic fresh yeast
This is exceptional fresh yeast. It is incredibly reactive, even though I keep all of mine frozen until ready to use. It has a wonderful smell, feels excellent and it is the only yeast I use. 42g blocks I guess are a little on the large size, but I must admit I use half of one then re-freeze the other half, and I cannot detect any reduction in performance. With other frozen yeasts I find they lose their potency but this eager little colony jumps straight into my dough ready for work.

Keeps well and is fresh
Great product. I’ve been buying this fresh yeast for a while now for my breads. I keep it in the freezer and usually cut a piece (8g) that is needed and return the rest in the freezer. It keeps well. It smells like yeast should smell and it works great both in hand kneading breads as well as bread machines (put in the bottom of your bread machine followed by dry ingredients). Very pleased with this product and would recommend it.

Perished Yeast Bricks
It was sent in a paper packaging, no insulation with an ice bag inside which was already outside temperature which is 28 C atm which means dead yeast cubes. Not working, on another note shelf life is a few weeks. Best part is sneaky seller Bonnebuffon disabled returns hence you cannot return them either. If you want to take your chance go ahead there is a good chance you will end up binning your money down the drain too.
