Pastries delivered in Paris: an artisan corporate caterer for your meetings and breakfasts

Pastries delivered in Paris are the most ordered item in corporate catering in the morning. But the term covers very different realities: from the butter croissant shaped by an artisan baker to the factory-grade croissant reheated in the oven at 6 am. The choice of supplier changes everything.

Artisan vs. factory-made pastries: what really changes

The difference between an artisan pastry and a factory-made one comes down to three points:

• The butter: an artisan croissant uses butter (Charentes-Poitou or Isigny), with at least 30% butter in the laminated dough. Industrial producers often use partially hydrogenated margarine.
• The lamination: made by hand, with 27 layers of dough, artisan lamination is crisp on the outside and honeycombed on the inside. A factory-made pastry is uniform and lacks texture.
• Freshness: an artisan pastry is made the day before or that same morning. A factory-made one may have been produced several days earlier and packed in a modified atmosphere.

The essential pastries for an office breakfast

How many pastries should you order for your meeting?

The rule of thumb: 2 to 3 pieces per person for a classic platter, 1.5 pieces if you add cakes, fruit or yoghurts. To go beyond pastries alone, our breakfasts and breaks complete the platter with pressed juices, artisan dairy and fresh fruit. For a meeting of 10 people: 20 to 25 pastries on a mixed platter (croissants, pains au chocolat, pains aux raisins).
