Három Tarka Macska French croissant

Crispy hairy thin outer layer and fluffy, airy inside give the real French croissant experience, made according to the original French recipe and with premium French butter.

Did you know?

The most famous version is that the croissant was first made in Vienna, to celebrate the lifting of the Turkish siege, and the crescent shape symbolizes the flag of the Turks, as the word "croissant" literally means "crescent moon".
However, according to Hungarian bakers, the croissant was born when the Turks wanted to retake Buda in the 17th century. The Ottoman army tried to break into the barricaded royal city, but the Hungarians defended themselves desperately. Then the crescent warriors came up with a ruse: at night they dug a tunnel to get under the city wall.  The bakers, who were on duty at night, alerted the population by ringing the bells half-way when the Turks approached under cover of night. This prevented the Turks from taking Buda. As a sign of triumph, they then baked puff pastry shaped like the crescent moon of the Turkish flag for the inhabitants of the city. Although this legend has no basis in reality, the croissant is a little bit ours too...:)
It was also very popular in Vienna and was brought to France by Marie Antoinette, the daughter of Maria Theresa, who was born in Austria and was crazy about this special pastry.

Producer information

Since the spring of 2017, the Három Tarka Macska artisan bakery has been welcoming its guests with its breads, pastries, sandwiches and specialty coffees made from the best ingredients. They consider themselves primarily an artisan bakery, with their baguettes, croissants and some of the breads they offer being made according to traditional French recipes.
At Három Tarka Macska, they believe that making healthy, flavorful breads and pastries starts with high-quality ingredients. That's why they use premium French flour and butter in all of their breads and pastries. Their additive-free flours come from the Bourgeois French mill, located 80 kilometers from Paris, which is unique in that it only sells flour to artisan bakeries and always works with excellent ingredients. They buy the grain exclusively from farmers in the area around the mill, and their mission is to serve demanding bakers. Before the bakery started, they tried flour from different mills and the Moulins Bourgeois flours proved to be the best choice for them to consistently represent the same high quality.

They work with excellent French and Hungarian bakers who make all their products by hand in their own workshop, and their breads and pastries are a testament to their skill. They believe that making really good bread takes time. That's why all their breads are slow-ripened, so the quality flours take on the flavor of the dough and the flavors develop in the baked breads. They don't use any additives, because what's really good doesn't need them.
French baguette, croissant, chocolate pillow, chocolate snail, brioche, artisan breads, sandwiches, coffee, teas... lots of quality delicacies await you, try them!
