A block - 800g - of fresh, baker's yeast |
Where can I get fresh yeast?
Here in Taunton, Somerset, I get my fresh yeast from Sainsbury's supermarket - £2.30 for 800g, or 60p for 200g (3p for 10g), or 21p for 50g (4p/10g).
Tesco used to give it away, but has now stopped (however, I was in Tesco in Stevenage over Christmas and the baker gave me over 200g!);
Asda give it away; and,
Morrison's will tell you it's in the chiller cabinets, but it rarely is.
Small bakers where bread is baked on the premises are good places to try - and health food shops often stock it.
