25 Feb 2019 --- Global yeast and baking solution provider Lesaffre has launched a new yeast product for the Japanese bread industry, offering a traditional slow-rising yeast in a modern format. Launched at the Machinery, Materials, Marketing of Bakery and Confectionary (MOBAC) Show 2019, l’hirondelle 1895 is a semi-dry, frozen yeast inspired by “the French practice of bread making from 120 years ago that treasured time as an essential ingredient,” says Lesaffre.
