A good galette des rois for a company is judged on five criteria you can check before ordering: the pastry, the filling, same-day delivery, the number of portions and the allergens. At L'Écrin Traiteur, a 6-portion galette costs €42.90 to €45.90 excl. VAT, in pure butter puff pastry, made by our partner bakers and delivered from 6:30 am. Here are the criteria, then what we do for each. Our selection is on the page galette des rois at work.
Is the puff pastry pure butter?
It is the first thing to look for on the product page or label. "Pure butter" (pur beurre) means butter is the only fat in the pastry. If the page only says "puff pastry", ask which fat is used. All three of our galettes are pure butter puff pastry.
Is the filling an almond frangipane?
Frangipane is an almond cream with pastry cream added. Check that the page mentions almonds, not just "flavouring". Our reference galette is filled with an almond frangipane cream. For variety, the apple and hazelnut galettes use the same puff pastry.
Is it delivered on the day of the event?
A galette is served on the day it arrives. Ask for delivery on the morning itself, at the time you choose, rather than the day before. At L'Écrin Traiteur, the galette is ordered by 10 am the day before and delivered on the day of your event, from 6:30 am, by our own team. See the guide galette des rois delivery to the office.
Is the number of portions stated?
A serious product page says how many people the galette is for. Ours do: frangipane for 4, 6 or 8 people (€35.90 excl. VAT, €44.90 excl. VAT and €54.90 excl. VAT), apple and hazelnut for 6 people (€42.90 excl. VAT and €45.90 excl. VAT). Allow one 6-portion galette for 5 to 6 people; the calculation for your headcount is in the guide how many galettes to order.
Are the allergens shown?
For food sold unpackaged, allergen information is compulsory (the EU FIC regulation). Ours are on each product page:
- Frangipane: gluten (wheat), eggs, milk (butter), nuts (almonds).
- Apple: gluten (wheat), milk (butter); may contain traces of egg, soy and other nuts.
- Hazelnut: gluten (wheat), eggs, milk (butter), nuts (hazelnuts).
Are the charm, the crown and slicing included?
For a company event, the crown matters as much as the galette. Check that one comes with every galette, and ask whether slicing is possible. With us: a charm and a crown in every galette, sliced on request.
