Cheese & Walnut Savory Crepes – Cheese Pastries

Crêpe Apéritive with Mountain Cheese and Walnut, savory and nutty

The Crêpe Apéritive Fromage & Noix by Gavottes fills the paper-thin Breton crêpe roll with French mountain cheese and walnut. A savory cheese pastry for the apéro, nutty-mild and well-rounded in flavor – the gentlest of the three cheese varieties.

Crêpe Apéritive Fromage & Noix is the nutty variation of the savory rolls: a crispy, multi-layered pastry shell filled with creamy mountain cheese from the French Jura and fine walnut. In a 110g box, it is an apéro snack that is milder than the bold Roquefort and more rounded than the sharp Cheddar. Nutty, creamy, crispy—this is how cheese and nut taste in their lightest form.

Nutty, creamy, delicately savory

As you bite in, the thin crêpe crunches, then comes the filling: creamy mountain cheese underscored by the delicate bitterness of the walnut.

The mountain cheese from the Jura tastes mild and savory, reminiscent of alpine meadows and hay, while the walnut adds a warm, slightly tart note. Together, they create a well-rounded, comforting savoriness that is less intense than Roquefort but has more character than many a mild snack. Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside—that's how one roll after another disappears.

The combination of cheese and nut is an old friend on every cheese board, and here it is captured in a feather-light pastry. Anyone who loves cheese and walnut on bread will find the same harmony in these rolls, only crispy and without the crumbs. Take two or three pieces and you’ll have a touch of autumn on your tongue, regardless of the season.

For wine, grapes, and sociable evenings

Mountain cheese and walnut pair well with bolder wines: a full-bodied white, a light red, or a glass of cider from Brittany.

Serve the rolls for an apéro alongside grapes, figs, and a little honey; the sweetness plays wonderfully with the nutty note. They are also right at home with a piece of aged cheese or on a charcuterie board. If you like variety, place the Crêpe Apéritive Cheddar and the bold Roquefort beside them. Put a bowl of them on the table and you will see how quickly they are snatched up.

This turns three boxes into a small selection of cheese pastries that enriches any aperitif. For New Year's Eve, a birthday, or simply after work, it is a savory pleasure that disappears quickly. And when guests arrive, the box is ripped open in a flash—and just as quickly empty again.

Breton crêpe artistry, nuttily filled

The Crêpe Apéritive comes from Gavottes, the Breton bakery that has been baking and rolling paper-thin crêpes for over a hundred years.

Gavottes became famous for the sweet Crêpe Dentelle from Quimper. In 2016, the brand applied its expertise to savory rolls, filling them with cheese—sometimes mild, like this mountain cheese and walnut variety, and sometimes bold, like the Roquefort. Mountain cheese and walnut is among the mildest fillings in the series, a great entry point for those who like it savory but not too overpowering. They are baked in Brittany, where Gavottes is part of the traditional bakery Loc Maria Biscuits, and where these fine crêpes are still produced in their own facilities to this day.

Thus, the Crêpe Apéritive Fromage & Noix combines Breton craftsmanship with the classic duo of cheese and nut. The entire Gavottes assortment invites you to sample, from the pure Crêpe Dentelle to the three savory varieties. Anyone who works their way through all three will quickly find their favorite.
