it is yeast that is still 'living' - as opposed to the dried yeast sold in sachets or pots, that must be re-hydrated with water before it reactivates. Fresh yeast has a four day shelf-life, which makes it inconvenient for homebakers (it's still alive after four days, but the quality declines). Fresh yeast is sold in cubes, and is usually creamed with flour, sugar or butter before being used in a recipe. Sometimes it is just crumbled in.

It is sometimes called "dried yeast". It is yeast that has had all of it's moisture removed (so that it can be stored indefinitely), but becomes active again as soon as it is dissolved in water.

(To use it in cooking, you should always use half of the amount of yeast that's recommended for when using "fresh yeast", since dried yeast is twice as concentrated.)
