Fresh yeast is refrigerated. Although I've never seen it in my local
supermarket, I believe some supermarkets somewhere carry it <g>. There is a
franchise here called Bakers Delight which sells mainly breads, some sweet
breads, scones (www.bakersdelight.com.au). There's one of these in the
shopping centre in Penrith, and I can buy fresh yeast from there. This is
something I've just discovered, and have just tried using fresh yeast.
Trouble is, the smallest amount I can buy is more than I'll use in a week
or so. I've read conflicting advice on freezing fresh yeast, so have to
search out more info.
