A New Way to Produce Yeast Better Adapted to the Evolution of Winemaking.

Toulouse, France, May 15, 2007 – For more than 25 years, Lallemand has selected the best yeasts nature has to offer winemakers – the Specialty Yeasts. The ever more challenging conditions for fermentation then led Lallemand to develop the YSEO® (Yeast SEcurity Optimization) process, a new process to produce yeast selected from nature.

Through this new process, Lallemand is obtaining yeasts that are better adapted to current winemaking practices. These natural dried yeasts are from the same strains that winemakers are accustomed to finding on the market, but they have undergone a specific process during their growth. This new process optimizes the reliability of alcoholic fermentation and lowers the risk of producing sensory off-flavours or organoleptic deviations.

With the YSEO® process – the guarantee of reliable, secure and quality fermentation – Lallemand has developed the best way to produce your Specialty Yeasts. YSEO® yeasts are 100% natural and non GMO.

In practice, YSEO® yeasts are utilized in the same way as regular oenological yeasts. Most of these are already YSEO® or soon will be.
