Saint Germain Mignon Petits Fours 8 Types 685 g 48 pcs — Traiteur de Paris

Saint Germain Mignon Petits Fours: French Buffet Patisserie, Ready to Serve

The Saint Germain assortment by Traiteur de Paris gathers 48 mini petits fours across 8 different recipes in a single frozen tray of 685 g (about 14 g per piece). Each piece is a finished single portion that reaches the plate after a simple thaw of 2 hours at +4 C: no preparation, no waste and a consistent result every service. It is the French answer to the dessert buffet, the coffee break and the plated mignon selection for professional kitchens.

What Petits Fours Are

Petits fours are bite-sized pastries born in the great French kitchens, designed to be eaten in one or two mouthfuls at the end of a meal or alongside coffee. The Saint Germain range translates this codified tradition into eight readable, recognisable recipes, each built on classic French technique: joconde sponge, butter cream, financier batter, ganache and glaze. The mignon format lets a single guest taste several creations without excess, which is exactly why it dominates catering and hotel breakfast buffets.

The Eight Recipes

• Strawberry entremets: joconde sponge, strawberry jelly, butter cream and strawberry compote.
• Almondine with lemon zest: almond cake, lemon cream and candied lemon and orange zest.
• Three-chocolate square: cocoa joconde, chocolate crunch, milk chocolate mousse, ganache and white chocolate mousse.
• Apricot and pistachio financier: financier batter, apricot jelly and pistachio granules.
• Cocoa crumble: cocoa crumble with dark chocolate ganache and dark chocolate cream.
• Caramel-cinnamon financier: with apple Tatin compote and a sliced almond finish.
• Raspberry cheesecake: creamy cheese base with raspberry.
• Coffee opera: coffee-soaked joconde, coffee butter cream, chocolate ganache and chocolate glaze.

The Producer: Traiteur de Paris

Traiteur de Paris was founded in 1995 by Denis Pinault, then twenty-three, together with creative pastry chef Yann Le Moal. The first workshop opened in La Guerche-de-Bretagne; today the company crafts its products in laboratories across Brittany and Normandy with more than 550 cooks and pastry chefs. With a capacity of over one million pieces a day and a network of more than 600 food-service distributors worldwide, Traiteur de Paris has built its name on a single ambition: the best of artisanal know-how, 100% Made in France. Deep-freezing is central to that promise, fixing flavour and nutritional value at the very moment of production.

Tasting Profile

The eight recipes are balanced between fruit, chocolate and coffee registers, so the tray reads as a complete dessert palette rather than a repetition. Expect clean acidity from the strawberry and raspberry pieces, roundness from the butter creams and financiers, and depth from the three-chocolate square and the opera. Sizes and finishes are uniform, which gives a tidy, professional look on any plateau.
