      TIL: Cornetto isn’t just an ice cream brand, sorry for my ignorance

      These days, it seems that most croissants are really cornetto because they all lack the flakyness and crunch.

      From my understanding (I’m a baker, not in Italy, but work with many Italians) cornetto are very rarely sourdough nowadays but are often sweetened with honey as well as sugar.

      Also really weird not to include variations on the croissant given that the same dough is used for pain aux raisins, chocolatine, etc.

      If it’s not made in the croissant region of France, it’s just a sparkling muffin.

      I feel like majority of croissants sold in our supermarkets and bakeries are actually cornettos

      We eat croissant au chocolat a lot in France also “aux amandes”. You’ll find those variation basically systematically

      I noticed people calling them ‘brioche’ when visiting (the north of) Italy.

      I’m British. I thought a Cornetto was a type of Ice Cream…

      Croissant or Cornetto, I didn’t even know about cornettos two minutes ago. But I do imagine that my italian neighbor going apeshit should I ever call a cornetto a croissant in his presence, and it’s the funniest thing that has happened to me today.

      So 7days is actually a cornetto.

      I called it a croissant my entire life.

      Cornetto is legendary!

      When I studied in Naples -1990s- there was a place called Cornetto di notte. They sold plain cornettos or cornettos with custard, nutella, white chocolate, or bianco/nero (nutella and white chocolate). It was THE thing to do after a night out, so around 3 AM there were long queues in the street. In retrospect I wonder if it didn’t drive their neighbors crazy.

      In the Netherlands, where I’m from, we went and had shoarma after hitting the pubs, but in Italy it was cornetto. They had a whole wall of used nutella jars – because the nutella version was the most popular, and of course Nutella is legendary in Italy.

      I didn’t realise they were deliberately different. I just assumed Italians made crappy croissants lol sorry Italy.
