This is COMPRESSED instant yeast
The item description leaves out (probably unintentionally) that this is COMPRESSED instant yeast. It is NOT normal instant yeast. It is NOT "bread machine yeast." It is compressed instant yeast, and requires different procedures for usage than normal, uncompressed instant yeast.
If you are looking for compressed instant yeast, I'm sure this product is swell, but if you are looking for normal instant yeast, look elsewhere.

great product
I was just making pizza dough and noticed that I am down to about a 1/4 cup of this yeast. Then it occured to me that I have been using this same package for TEN YEARS. It is still vital, having been kept in doulbe ziplock freezer bags all this time. It has even survived a move. Is it a good thing to keep it around this long?- I don't know. I can only tell you that it still works! Keeping it dry and in the freezer must be the trick.
I go though phases of baking a lot, then not at all, but there's tons of yeast for your dollar, here. It's a very consistent product, too. It seems to have a much broader tolerance for temperature ranges, so that I don't need to be overly concerned with the exact temperature of the liquids I add it to, nor the temperature of the place I let my dough rise.
Really a great value.

Yeast Rising
This is a great addition to a baker's kitchen. It can be easily measured out to the precise amount needed, then stored for a very long time. It is not necessary to store the remainder in the refrigerator, just in a cool, dry place.
Santa Cruz opts for micro-Fi: the City had hoped to get a full deployment, but has decided to start with a hotzone in their tourist areas, which is far easier to build and quantify the success of.
