LEVEL² LAKTIA™
(Lachancea thermotolerans)
Product details
LEVEL² LAKTIA™ is a pure culture of Lachancea thermotolerans, selected for its unique properties to produce high levels of lactic acid during fermentation. Used in sequential inoculation with most selected Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, LEVEL² LAKTIA™ brings aromatic complexity, freshness and acidity from the beginning of alcoholic fermentation. LEVEL² LAKTIA™ helps to re-equilibrate the acidity of wines, especially those from hot climate, due to significant production of lactic acid.
