This “Croissant Géant” (giant croissant), which went completely viral on TikTok and Instagram, is actually from Maison Philippe Conticini, the namesake brand of the legendary French pastry chef. Philippe Conticini holds a highly respected position in the French pastry world, known for his innovative techniques and strict demands when it comes to flavor and ingredients.
This giant croissant is made with rich, premium butter and undergoes a long lactic acid fermentation process. Once baked, the dough develops incredibly crisp layers and a strong buttery aroma.
Equivalent to 12 regular croissants! A massive 1.2 kg serving
This giant croissant isn’t just visually shocking; its portion size is completely solid. A single piece weighs between 1 kg and 1.2 kg—the equivalent of 10 to 12 regular-sized croissants—making it perfect for sharing with a few friends over breakfast, afternoon tea, or brunch.
The “Gourmet XXL Croissant” currently sells for about €32 to €35 (around HK$ 270 / NT$ 1,100) on the official website and in stores. Because the production process is complex and demand is incredibly high, readers wanting to try this viral croissant for themselves should pre-order through the brand’s official website or reserve one at designated stores ahead of time.
