Masterchef’s Gregg Wallace on a roll at Brioche Pasquier
Abstract
Gregg Wallace takes a trip to the Brioche Pasquier bakery in France for this weeks’ edition of BBC Two’s Inside the Factory documentary series.

The programme will air tomorrow (Tuesday 13th August) at 8pm. Wallace explores the French factory, which makes 336,000 croissants every day.

The programme focuses on the ‘famous’ crescent shaped croissants, which are ‘soft and golden.’ During the programme Wallace interviews Oliver Ripoche, the managing director of Brioche Pasquier. Gabriel Pasquier opened his first bakery in 1936 and over 75 years later it has turned into an ‘international business.’

Ripoche said: “We loved having Gregg and the team visit the bakery which retains the family values of the Pasquier family who still own and run it. 

“Our croissants are one of our flagship lines and, of course, are quintessentially French. We can’t wait for viewers to see inside our factory, and learn how we make croissants the Brioche Pasquier way.”
