Savory croissants, a delicious mix for your business
Every January 30 is a date that we should have marked on the calendar and whose purpose is to raise awareness of a piece of pastry that can be consumed at any time and that makes us a little bit happier.
What would become of today's breakfasts and snacks if Viennese bakers had not invented the croissant-shaped product we love so much today? Without croissants, our lives would certainly be a lot duller. And yet the incomparable croissant made of puff pastry has a few years of history behind it. But no matter: it is still an iconic food, and this 30 January, which is International Croissant Day, even more so.
Although many people believe that the croissant is a food of French origin, it actually comes from Vienna. There are several legends about its origin, but the most widespread story is that it was created as a festive product to celebrate victory over the Ottoman invader. The military tried to attack by surprise in the silence of the night, but did not think that the bakers were already awake at that time. To celebrate the triumph, the professional bakers and flour bakers celebrated by creating this piece in the shape of a crescent moon in imitation of the crescent moon on the Ottoman flag. The croissant was born to contain the enemy and ended up conquering the whole world.
What is clear is that few can refuse to accompany coffee, or any other drink for that matter, with this delicacy. But what makes it so delicious? From its buttery aroma to its golden colour to its flaky flakiness, everything is important for a croissant to be glorious. Of course, it must also have a crispy texture and an incomparable taste.
It is not difficult to get a croissant like this in your establishment, as it is possible thanks to frozen dough and frozen croissants, which are made with the utmost quality, care and respect and are deep-frozen in the last stage of production, preserving their qualities intact. And what qualities they have.
Not only that: you can offer your croissants in their most traditional format (with margarine), with rich chocolate inside, or opt for a savoury mixture, which, believe it or not, works wonderfully with these foods. Let's see exactly how.
A commitment to savoury croissants
As a product that works so well in cafés, bakeries and other establishments, it is logical that its range has been changing and adapting to all kinds of tastes. Nowadays, the range of flavours of frozen croissants includes a wide variety, something that can also be of great benefit to your point of sale, as it is important to have products that can satisfy different types of customers and palates.
Chocolate addicts will still opt for the chocolate croissant with bar, the croissant crème de cacao suprême or even the croissant suprême de butte. Lovers of the traditional, on the other hand, are already familiar with the classic margarine croissant, and those with a discerning palate will have no hesitation in choosing the intense croissant with Hélène sourdough. But as the possibilities are endless, the range of savoury croissants is also worth looking at.
One option to consider is the fermented bikini croissant, a croissant that stands out for its delicious ham and cheese filling and the speed with which it can be prepared, as it is fermented. Those who do not choose a specific flavour, on the other hand, can opt for the assorted artesanitos, mini delicacies in croissant format filled with four different flavours: potato omelette decorated with poppy seeds; york and cheese; chistorra sausage decorated with golden linen; or frankfurter filling decorated with brown linen. They are ideal gifts, moreover, if your customers want to surprise with a detail at home.
And it doesn't end there, the sky's the limit! You can also be the one to fill the croissants yourself in your business, using popular ingredients such as sausage, Roquefort (or other cheese), spinach or sobrassada; or other more sophisticated mixtures, such as turkey, cheese, spinach and tomato; or avocado and grilled egg.
As you can see, the croissant is so versatile that it adapts to all kinds of palates, and even in its most daring version, the savoury one, it is the king. An option that should never be missing in your establishment.
