Question about Yeast Flavor

Hello Everyone, Great forum.

    I'm looking for a recommendation for a flavorful bulk yeast. We're currently using RIZE by Rapunzel and it's got a wonderful wild yeast smell and slightly tangy flavor. But we can't seem to find it in bulk. Unfortunately it's about 500 times more expensive in the individual packs. All the bulk yeasts we've tried just don't add that wonderful smell and flavor. They are almost tasteless in comparison. Has anyone come across anything that fits that description?

Thanks MichaelGA for the advice. I'm definitely not a spammer. We're trying NOT to use the Rapunzel. As much as we love the flavor and performance it's way too expensive if we can't find it in bulk. I agree with you about keeping a starter. We actually do keep a starter. But unfortunately for this particular product we need an enormous amount (we need to rise 500lbs of flour per day). So a starter isn't practical.  We would need a bathtub full. I also agree that the quality and time of the ferment is what gives most of the flavor. But the Rapunzel yeast has a particular sourdough element to it that enhances the bread flavor differently than any of the other dry yeasts. Plus we need the texture/crumb to be a certain quality and need a quick rise. So this isn't an overnight 2 stage ferment that develops flavor in the way you're suggesting. So we're still on the lookout if anyone has come across anything. We're currently working with the US distributor to see if we can get the RIZE in bulk. But it's painfully slow and not something they seem willing to do at the moment.
