What it is
Vol au Vent Sfoglia Mignon are 48 mm puff pastry shells supplied ready to fill. The light, crisp shape is designed for savoury or sweet preparations, from aperitif bites to buffet and finger-food service.
Producer and format
The MIO line is supplied by Innovaction S.r.l. The case contains 160 pieces, each approximately 48 mm in diameter, giving pastry kitchens and caterers a countable unit for events and daily preparation.
Organoleptic profile
The shells are light and crisp, with a neutral pastry character that leaves the filling in focus. The documented pastry uses soft wheat flour type 00, vegetable margarine, water, salt and beta-carotene E160a; it contains wheat gluten.
Professional uses and quantities
Use one shell per bite or plate element and fill shortly before service to protect the crispness. They work with savoury creams, vegetables, seafood or meat preparations, and with sweet pastry creams or fruit-based fillings.
Errors to avoid
Do not fill too early, overload the shell or handle it with wet utensils. Avoid storing the pieces in humidity, which softens the pastry, and keep allergen-aware preparation separate from gluten-free work.
Storage and handling
Store in a cool, dry place according to the pack instructions. Keep the case closed until preparation, protect the shells from moisture and rotate the 160 pieces according to the event or service plan.
