In a world where every bite seems to have a story to tell, few can match the charm and delicacy of croissants.
These exquisite pastries, with their crescent shape, crispy exterior, and soft interior, have become a true culinary icon. But what is the story behind their original and irresistible flavor?
The fascinating origin of croissants
The origins of croissants date back to 17th century Vienna, when the city was saved from Turkish siege. To commemorate the event, Viennese bakers created a pastry in the shape of a crescent, symbolizing the Ottoman flag’s crescent moon. This pastry, known as “kipferl” at the time, soon became a success.
However, the true magic of croissants spread to Paris in the 19th century when French pastry chefs reinvented them, adding butter and thus creating the buttery, flaky version that we know and love today.
