It’s a story of love, french baking and the love of french baking!
Dominique Colombie learnt the art of making pastry from his father, whose Patisserie Colombie was an institution in the village of Montesquieu-Volvestre in South-west France.
He later met his wife to be Celia Elder, in Paris. She too shared his love of fine French cuisine and together they dreamt of one day establishing a business in New Zealand inspired by their passion for French baking. Together, in 1986 they started La Tarterie which went on to become Paneton and with their passionate team of bakers have continued to bring New Zealanders their favourite French bakery treats.
Today, Paneton enjoys success as NZ’s leading French Bakery combining the best traditional French baking with the best New Zealand ingredients. Their award winning flaky butter puff pastry is handcrafted and loved by leading chefs and is made with New Zealand butter, no additives or preservatives.
“My family has always been passionate about making French breads and pastries. We’re very proud to be able to share a little French savoir fair with New Zealanders by crafting delicious pastry and bread products that are made in New Zealand.” – Dominique, Boulanger at Paneton ‘Our French Bakery’
