Fermentis is the business unit of Lesaffre – leader in yeast and yeast products – created in 2003 to lead the group through innovation in the field of beer, wine, spirits and fermented beverages. Since then, Fermentis has been developing and marketing specific yeast products offering both technical and economical advantages to its customers. Fermentis produces true brewers yeast in ready to pitch dry form in formats meeting the requirements of industrial brewers, craft and homebrewers. The yeasts are produced in dedicated, state-of-the-art propagation facilities and then carefully dried to preserve their characteristics. Fermentis was the first to manufacture and market dry lager yeasts. Our different strains are available from recognized European sources enabling high quality lager production. A range of speciality ale yeasts has also been developed to produce ales with authentic flavour profiles.
