Délifrance offers three distinct manufacturing processes to meet a variety of operational needs. Our frozen ready-to-bake viennoiseries are pre-proved and can be placed directly in the oven for immediate baking. Meanwhile, our ready-to-prove products require a proving stage before baking, offering maximum control over freshness and great flexibility for your business. Finally, our baked viennoiserie products are ready-to-serve items that only need to be thawed at room temperature to restore their optimal texture and aroma.

Ready-to-bake products are pre-portioned and can be placed directly in the oven, while ready-to-rise products require a rising stage before baking, allowing for maximum control over freshness and volume.

Our croissant range caters to diverse dietary preferences and budget requirements. We offer traditional all-butter croissants for delicious taste, vegan croissants for plant-based diets, and blend croissants that combine vegetable fats with butter to provide a cost-effective solution without compromising quality. Each format addresses specific operational needs, whether accommodating dietary restrictions or optimizing food costs. Beyond our plain croissants, we feature an extensive range of filled croissants with sweet and savoury options, perfect for expanding your menu offerings and creating snacking solutions throughout the day.

The versatility of pastries generates revenue throughout the day, across multiple occasions, from breakfast to afternoon snacks. This flexibility allows artisan bakeries, cafés, hotels and many more to maximise their profitability while catering to the varied preferences of their customers. Beyond traditional service, viennoiseries offer endless creative possibilities for original recipes: transform croissants into savoury sandwiches, create specialities filled with trendy ingredients, or develop innovative snacks to expand your menu offerings.

Selecting the ideal viennoiserie format depends on your operational capacity, service requirements, and storage capabilities. High-volume operations benefit from ready-to-bake solutions that eliminate proofing variables and ensure consistent timing. Ready-to-prove formats offer maximum flexibility for smaller operations requiring fresh-baked authenticity throughout the day. Consider your equipment capabilities, staff expertise, peak service periods, and available freezer space when determining the optimal process for your establishment.

Different viennoiserie formats can be baked together but require staggered timing or removal to accommodate varying baking durations for optimal results. Be sure to space the products sufficiently apart on the tray to prevent them from sticking together during baking.

Frozen viennoiserie maintains optimal quality for 12 months, with some premium ranges offering extended stability up to 18 months.

Filled specialities require refrigeration at 2-4°C to maintain food safety standards with careful temperature monitoring throughout the supply chain.
