The invention relates to a storage stable composition and method of manufacture containing a biological material, oil and a biopolymer which has a water activity of less than 0.5. The biological material in the composition attains significant stability and resistance to temperature, humidity and oxygen degradation. Advantages from the invention include the ability to stabilise, further process, store and then release the probiotic bacteria at a later date and retain viability. In addition the composition and method is more practical for producing and marketing of biological materials including probiotic material as it is simple, has low energy requirements and the resulting product is easy to incorporate in formulations and foods.
