Baked since the 19th century for the feast day (22 January) of St Vincent, patron saint of winemakers, gochtial is a dense sweet bulbous shaped bread. It’s made according to a secret recipe, especially in Saint-Armel (they say the secret is in the special flour) where they now make it every day in a wood burning oven.
Sometimes spelled gotchial, goatchial, gostial or cochetial.
