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

Use this in the making of Bread as an ingredient. Can recommend this yeast to anyone making their own Bread or similar items. This my recent purchase from many previous purchases, so can highly recommend.

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.

Great active yeast, add some honey and warm water and activates in about 10mins I use it for my whole meal and white seeded loaves love it and cheaper buying in bulk.

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!

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.

Dead as a dead thing. Wouldn’t activate

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

1st batch I bought was fine, although the smell is a bit off putting but it was good and active. Second batch has been dead - bread isn’t rising. Very disappointed
