    Hi OP, do they freeze the crossaints and defrost it and sell it to us?

    • freddofrog42 on 19/06/2020 - 19:32

      The small packs of 3/4 are certainly frozen before putting on display but they're still the best we've found at general supermarkets (Coles, WW, IGA, Aldi).

      The others seem much drier.

        • sangohan on 20/06/2020 - 20:11

          Let's say it takes about 3 minutes per customer (on average), so a cafe can serve 20 customers in 1 hour, so about 200 customers per day (10 hrs).

          200 x $3.3 = $660 per day of profit from coffee sales, or $4620 per week (if open 7 days).

          But of course, only works in dense, city traffic with people every where. Not sure how they can with the reduced office workers and stuff in the CBD.

        If you're in Melbourne, anywhere near the northern suburbs, there's an awesome little french bakery at the Preston Markets called Publique. Croissants are genuine french style and fresh ones are baked throughout the day so you'll never get stale ones. I think they're only $2.80 each for the plain ones. Coffee is great there too.

    Both Woolies and Coles sell butter from both Aus. and NZ, the Aus butter is about 60c more expensive for the 500g block. I'm happy to buy NZ butter tastes fine to me. It's likely the butter is from NZ as it appears to be the cheaper option.

    The best packs of croissants I have had are from Costco, they do a 12 pack for about $8-$10 and they're super delicious and fresh.

      I think new zealand has very lax regulations on what is considered "made in new zealand"

      I think i was reading about frozen corn "made in new zealand" is actually chinese grown corn and only packaged in new zealand.

      its the reason why "made in new zealand" can be cheaper - they can substitute any foreign ingredients they want.

        Whether a product is ‘made in New Zealand’ depends on a number of factors, including the nature of the product and what consumers understand about it. Some examples help explain how the meaning of “made” can vary depending on the product:
        *For a clothing item, where is it changed from fabric into a garment?
        *For a food item, where were the ingredients grown?
        *For a manufactured product, was it substantially manufactured in NZ? Where was the primary componentry made? Were any substantial stages of manufacture conducted offshore?

        They did the same thing with frozen peas a few years ago. Some of the produce from China is grown in heavily polluted fields. They could be badly contaminated with heavy metals from their factories. China has also in the past put melamine in baby food. If they are exporting dairy products via New Zealand it would be of great concern. I really hope that New Zealand gets serious about protecting their national brand as they produce some seriously good products.

        Butter is different, depending on the season (if cows are eating grasses or not). And they probably go for the cheapest butter, wherever it's coming from. If the butter is a bit more white they add color to have a consistent product.
        If you're worried about a little bit of food colouring in a croissant don't buy anything from a supermarket.

          If the butter is a bit more white they add color to have a consistent product.

    Got to admit whilst these croissants are a bargain , if you guys are in Melbourne, Candied Bakery in Spotswood has some of the best croissants I have had. Literally just smashed down two (pistachio cream filled and vanilla bean filled) as I was typing this haha.

    Yes, they are slightly pricey ($5 each), but the joy of eating a freshly baked croissant with a coffee brewed from the Breville Barista Express (shout out to whoever posted on that on OzB, allowing me to get it!) is something that you can't match, regardless of how shocking my latte art is.

    Woolworths is pulling an Aldi on this one… No stock anywhere near me. Went to two separate Woolies just for the fun of it. Both said we are waiting on ingredients.

    The woolies near me (Riverton, WA) has loads of it…except it looks like 10 regular sized croissants in a bag). I gave it a pass.
