Pastry for festive feasts

Pidy, a family owned pastry manufacturer, is excited to announce the launch of a sweet and neutral short pastry range in time for Christmas.

Pidy has been creating a wide variety of pastry products for over 63 years and its latest range of ready to fill pastries is perfect for the busy festive period.

The latest pastry range, named hard fonçage, is a short, crisp and delicately thin pastry that is available in two varieties – sweet and neutral. This new revolutionary pastry forms the start of a new era in Pidy’s range to provide regular shapes that have a lighter appeal and provide a higher filling to pastry ratio allowing chefs more room for delicious fillings. The sweet and neutral flavours of pastry also enable eateries to create a wide variety of desert and savoury canapés.

Robert Whittle, general manager at Pidy UK, comments: “Research over the last few years has led us to believe that our customers are seeking new ways in which to present their pastry offering with lighter shape, composition and texture alternatives. Our new sweet and neutral fonçage pastries are our lightest yet, the light pastry makes the canapés crisper and they also allow more room for sweet and savoury fillings. Our fonçage pastries are in demand with chefs and caterers as the need for thin and healthy pastry continues to grow.”
