🥐 Croissant Facts You Didn’t Know! ✨

Check out these fab photos from last spring of our team posing with the giant croissant from !

There’s a whole world of croissant facts you might not know. Let’s dive in!

1️⃣ Croissants Are a Type of Viennoiserie 🍞
The croissant belongs to the viennoiserie category of French pastry, which refers to baked goods made with yeast-leavened dough and often buttery, like brioche or pain au chocolat.

2️⃣ The Layers are Key 🧈
A true croissant has at least 55 layers of buttery, flaky goodness—achieved through expert folding!

3️⃣ Straight vs. Curved
In 1920s France, a law dictated that butter croissants must be straight, while those made with margarine could be curved!

4️⃣ Award-Winning Croissants 🏆
Paris holds an annual competition for the best butter croissant in the city!

5️⃣ Luxury Croissants Exist
Parisian bakeries sell over half a million croissants daily, proving their status as an essential French treat!

Where’s the best place you’ve ever had a croissant? 🥐
