Roquefort Aperitif Crepe – Cheese Pastry

Crêpe Apéritive Roquefort, savory cheese biscuits with blue cheese

Strong, tangy, unmistakable: Gavottes' Crêpe Apéritive Roquefort fills the paper-thin Breton crêpe rolls with creamy blue cheese. A savory cheese biscuit for the apéro, for those who like their cheese a little bolder.

Crêpe Apéritive Roquefort are crispy, filled crêpe rolls with a filling made from French Roquefort, the famous blue cheese. The multi-layered pastry shell is feather-light, while the filling is robust, salty, and piquant. In a 110g box, they are a flavorful alternative to chips and snacks, made for an aperitif with character. A cheese for the seasoned palate, packed into a pastry that is light and crispy in the hand.

Strong cheese in a feather-light shell

First, the thin crêpe crunches, then the Roquefort hits with full force: salty, tangy, with the typical piquancy of blue cheese.

The blue mold brings exactly that savory sharpness one expects from a good Roquefort, though tamed here by the buttery, airy shell. This turns the intense cheese into a snack that tastes bold without being overpowering. Those who love blue cheese will find it hard to put these rolls down. Take one, close your eyes for a moment, and you have the flavors of a French cheese board in a single bite.

One or two pieces are enough to awaken the palate, and the next sip of wine will naturally follow. A sip of water between two rolls ensures the next bite tastes as fresh as the first. The Crêpe Apéritive Roquefort is not for the faint of heart, but a little feast for lovers of strong cheese.

For robust wine and social gatherings

Roquefort and sweetness are an old classic: these rolls go just as well with a noble sweet wine as with a full-bodied red.

Serve them for an aperitif with a glass of port, Sauternes, or a bold red wine; the sweetness and the tang play off each other beautifully. They are also at home with a dark beer or on a cheese board alongside grapes and walnuts. Add a dollop of honey or a slice of ripe pear, and the snack almost becomes a small course. And for those who prefer something milder, place the Crêpe Apéritive Cheddar alongside.

This creates an instant little cheese selection for snacking, without the need for knives or boards. For New Year's Eve and every social gathering, these savory rolls are a crowd-pleaser that your guests won't soon forget. For a spontaneous evening for two, half a box and a good glass of wine are all you need.

Breton craftsmanship, savory design

The Crêpe Apéritive comes from Gavottes, the Breton bakery behind the famous Crêpe Dentelle.

What Gavottes has mastered for over a hundred years is the paper-thin baking and rolling of crêpe dough. In 2016, the brand brought this art into the savory world, filling the delicate rolls with cheese instead of sugar for the first time; Roquefort was there from the beginning. They are baked in Brittany, where Gavottes is part of the traditional bakery Loc Maria Biscuits, and the delicate crêpes are still produced in their own facilities to this day. The fact that such a strong cheese can fit into such a delicate shell is exactly the little trick that this manufacturer has mastered.

In addition to Roquefort, the rolls are also available with English Cheddar and with Alpine cheese and walnut; the entire Gavottes range invites you to try them all. Eaten across the three varieties, each one tells its own little cheese story.
