Fresh Yeast

gagalina

Hey All,

anybody got any idea where I could find some fresh yeast in Dublin? All I can find is the dry stuff, which I do not like at all.

thanks

I get mine at my local Four Star Pizza. They usually don't even charge me

The Dublin yeast company, a tiny little cake shop run by a guy in his 80's opposite Trinity.

From what I remember though from when I went in there once, is that he only has fresh yeast available on certain days. I'm fairly certain he didn't have it at the start of the week, only from Wednesday p.m. onwards, or something strange like that. It might be best to try and find a phone number and check up first.

It's an amazing place though. I had always assumed that the "Dublin Yeast Co." sign was just something left over from days of old, and that they only sold cake decorations these days, until someone put me right.

Yep still there AFAIK. Two old brothers . Used to pick up yeast myself there. You need tog o in on Monday or Tuesday. Superquinn would also sell it at one stage if you asked them very very nicely.

I knew it was something odd like that, but I got it completely backwards somehow. Anyway, whenever I happen to be in Dublin and think about going in, it just so happens it's always on a day when he doesn't have any in

I am almost 99% sure I saw fresh yeast in the chiller cabinet of that new fancy food store on Exchequer St- Fallon and Byrne?

Very hard to find fresh yeast in Dublin this days.
I already went to Four Star Pizza and they could not sell me a piece. I went to SuperQuinn and was told they don't make their breads there. Also called few Health Shops and nothing
the only hope is Irish Yeast Co. however they only open from 11:30 to 1:30 which are my working hours.
Having a really hard time to get fresh Yeast.
If any one has any other idea please let me know.

Regards,

T

tuxa, you put the exact same post in two threads, so I deleted one of them, you'll get the same answer regardless.

Try some of the Polski Skleps on Talbot St., the Lithuanian shop in Moore St. Mall, the Hungarian shop beside Cineworld on Parnell St. (I know they definitely have it, it's called "Friss élesztő", €0.50 for 50g); they tend to stock fresh yeast.

Depends on how much your looking for.
Small quantities will be a problem.

La Bottega di Paolo (in the Italian Quarter place round the back of the Jervis Centre, think it's called Blooms Lane) had a sign in the window saying they had fresh yeast in stock when I walked by over the weekend

I've been in there on 3 separate occassions looking for it and they didn't have any:(

I'm pretty sure someone posted before that you can buy it from the bakery section in Supperquinn.
