Wieninger Backhefe fresh yeast

Wieninger Backhefe is a traditional fresh baking yeast primarily sold in the German market. The brand has its roots in Passau, Germany, where it was founded by the Wieninger family in 1865. For over a century, F.X. Wieninger GmbH & Co. KG operated as an independent specialist in yeast production.

In recent years, the brand has become part of the portfolio of Lallemand Inc., a global leader in yeast and bacteria production. While the historical heart of the brand is in Lower Bavaria, modern production and distribution are managed under the umbrella of Lallemand's specialized baking divisions, such as Lallemand-DHW. The product is widely available in German retail chains like REWE and is recognized for its consistency in dough fermentation.
