History
Our history goes back to the mid-twentieth century, specifically to 1942, when Ferriol Domènech and Teresa Roqué inaugurated the pastry shop at number 13 of Carrer de Sant Antoni de Sant Joan les Fonts, coinciding with the celebration of the town's main festival that used to take place on the first Sunday of August.
Previously, there had already been an old "Domènech Pastry Shop" in the Plaza Mayor in Olot (next to Café Europa) belonging to Camil and Josep Domènech, Ferriol's uncle and cousin, respectively.
As a young man, Ferriol had spent several years learning the trade of pastry chef; first in Can Batlle in Torroella de Montgrí and then in several pastry shops in Girona and Barcelona. Finally, after learning time, Ferriol returned to Olot. After returning from the war, he married Teresina with whom he had three children; Pepita, Salvador and Joaquim.
