Cider Yeast Renaissance Fresco – Clean Fermentation and Pure Fruit Character

Yeast strain: Saccharomyces cerevisiae hybrid

Advanced hydrogen sulfide prevention for cider making

Renaissance Yeast Inc. is a global leader in the development of hydrogen sulfide–preventing yeast for cider producers worldwide. The company holds the exclusive global license from the University of California for this innovative breakthrough.
Through classical breeding techniques, Renaissance Yeast has further refined this technology into highly effective cider yeast designed to reduce hydrogen sulfide formation during fermentation.

Reveal the true aroma and complexity of cider

Using Renaissance yeast helps express the cider’s natural character and complexity—qualities that can otherwise be masked by hydrogen sulfide produced during traditional fermentation.
The result is a cleaner fermentation profile, purer fruit expression, and improved overall cider quality.
