Our craft
Three days for one croissant.
Nothing is frozen and nothing is rushed. Every croissant takes 72 hours from first fold to the counter — that's where the shatter comes from.
Day1
Détrempe & rest
Flour from the Beauce, milk and levain mixed and rested overnight at 4°C.
Day2
Lamination
Normandy AOP butter folded in by hand — three turns, 81 delicate layers.
Day3
Shape, proof, bake
Proofed for four hours, glazed twice, baked until deep amber.
