A childhood taste, freshly made: the Cartofior pastry
Who does not remember the taste of the Cartofior pastry - a simple yet much loved treat that takes you straight back to childhood? We have made this classic in a fresh rendition.
Finely crumbled sponge, butter and cocoa, condensed milk and delicate flavours. The shape, reminiscent of a little potato, hides a dense, creamy texture, while the rich cocoa taste is balanced by the gentle sweetness of the cream.
Everyone who grew up on homemade desserts knows this pastry. Simple in composition, yet full of character - it stays in your memory for decades. We did not reinvent it; we brought back that very taste, only from quality ingredients and with a consistent result.
The base is crumbled sponge combined with butter and cocoa. Condensed milk adds softness and creaminess, while fine aromas round out the taste. Inside it is dense but tender: exactly the feeling the Cartofior is loved for.
We shape every pastry by hand - hence the recognisable little potato silhouette, and the fact that no two are quite alike. It is slower than stamping them out, but closer to homemade.
The Cartofior pastry can already be found in Colibri partner stores. Look in the products section on the site to see the range and points of sale.
