So, what is tuorehiiva?

Tuorehiiva, also known as fresh yeast, is a natural and versatile food ingredient commonly used in baking. It is made up of live yeast cells that provide excellent leavening power to bread, pastries, and other baked goods. Unlike dry yeast, tuorehiiva must be kept refrigerated and has a limited shelf life, but it can offer a more complex and nuanced flavor profile to baked goods. This ingredient is especially popular in Scandinavian and Finnish baking traditions, where it is often used to make sweet buns and other traditional pastries. Its unique properties make it a favorite among bakers who appreciate its ability to enhance the taste, texture, and aroma of baked goods.
