A FAMILY BAKERY
Founded in 1932 by baker Pierre Poilâne, Poilâne® has stood the test of time by preserving the best of the best. 3 generations, Pierre, Lionel, Apollonia have succeeded each other with the same exigence, to offer handmade breads, sablés and bakers pastries baked in wood-fired ovens. These are authentic, nourishing, and nutritious baked goods with a unique taste.
OUR APPROACH
All Poilâne® baked goods are baked in an oven heated by a wood fire. The refractory bricks that make up the oven allow for gentle cooking and a better development of the product’s aromas. The wood used is reclaimed wood, untreated and very dry hardwood scraps, which are byproducts of the paper or furniture industry. Thus, our wood fired ovens are not harmful to the environment.
