    I looked it up, and apparently it’s also called either “cake yeast” or “compressed yeast”. I baked some rolls with it, if I remember right, and you could definitely taste it (which I liked, but some people probably want a “cleaner” taste).

    Looks like there are some ways to get it in the UK. I have no clue if the genetics would be similar to what I can get, or what they use in finland.

      Thank you! I have some coeliac relatives and I regularly make bread for them. Shipton Mill seems to do a lot of supplies for gluten-free baking (most importantly psyllium husk, which is without a doubt the secret master key to a good texture in gluten-free bread) so I’ll add some of this yeast to my order when I next need to stock up
