Excellence at their fingertips, but choices imposed at the expense of pleasure.
A loyal customer since the Codognan days, I can only applaud the nobility of the craft and the evident passion that drive Mr. Marchetti. Here, meticulous work is the rule, and one would have to be ignorant, malicious, or jealous (these aren't mutually exclusive) to claim otherwise or imply any subcontracting. Moreover, addressing these unfounded criticisms would be to give them undue importance.
Yet, it is with genuine bitterness that I take up my pen. My disappointment is commensurate with my high regard: the red fruit galette, while aesthetically pleasing, proved bland. One must be careful not to lose oneself in beauty at the expense of quality. This has become all too common to ignore. But beyond the taste, it's the feeling of an imposed choice that is troubling. By offering only one size at €28, one feels almost held hostage, deprived of the alternative of a more modest size for a more measured pleasure that suits every budget. As far as I'm concerned, unfortunately, I'll never see them at that price again.
Admittedly, this policy of expensive products seems to be becoming the norm in all the surrounding bakeries, to which I will soon direct the same criticism.
While inflation is a reality, we mustn't forget that some raw materials, like flour, are at their lowest prices in five years, even though I'm well aware that electricity and butter also contribute to the price and have skyrocketed. However, there comes a point where it's no longer the crisis that dictates prices, but rather commerce that ultimately fuels the crisis...
Nevertheless, congratulations on your talent; everything at your bakery remains magnificent. Your products exude respect for the craft, and one has to travel many miles to find such a signature.
