The least we can say is that préfou, the flagship product of the Vendée aperitif, is a real treat for the taste buds!

For the record, the préfou is none other than a baker's trick. To test the heat of his oven, he would place a piece of bread dough on a heated tile. When the dough was cooked, the temperature of the oven could be estimated. Rather than throwing away the barely cooked ball of white bread, it was garnished with garlic and salted butter and then shared around the bakery as a snack.
