NO. 3 Vol Au Vent - Round Shell - 120 Shells

The vol-au-vent is a classic of the professional kitchen for good reason — and Pasteles does it properly. Each No. 3 round is formed by hand from a light, layered flaky pastry and blind baked to perfection: tall and hollow, with a crisp golden shell and a deep cavity ready to receive a generous filling. The result looks effortlessly elegant on a platter and delivers on every expectation when you take a bite.

At 55mm, this vol-au-vent moves comfortably between catering formats — equally at home as a passed canapé at a cocktail function or plated as an entrée. Fill with a classic chicken and mushroom sauce, creamy seafood bisque, rôtisserie duck with hoisin, or a rich spinach and ricotta mixture for a vegetarian option. The shell holds moisture well when warmed through, making it reliable for banquet service. Suitable for hot or cold fillings.

Format: 120 shells per carton | 55mm diameter | Flaky pastry

Producer: Pasteles Bakehouse

Founded in Sydney’s Botany in 1983, Pasteles Bakehouse has spent over four decades perfecting the art of the pastry shell. Working from a traditional family recipe, founder Ruth Danny built a business that now counts some of Australia’s finest hotels, caterers, restaurants, and specialty food stores among its loyal customers. The business took out the Best New Foodservice Product Award in Melbourne in 1994 and has since appeared in Gourmet Traveller, Vogue Australia, and the Australian Women’s Weekly.

HACCP certified and 100% Australian owned and operated, Pasteles produces three pastry styles — shortcrust, flaky, and sweet — each made with natural ingredients and finished by hand. These are shells that serious kitchens reach for again and again.
