Celebrating 50 Years of Our Selected Wine YeastIn 1974, Lallemand began producing its first selected wine yeast in active dry form. After mastering the production and drying process of baker’s yeast, Lallemand explored the possibility of adapting that knowledge to other fermented products, including wine. Partnering with Scott Laboratories in California, Lallemand successfully grew and dried two selected wine yeasts from the […]
