This week's International Weekend product comes from Italy via overstock/closeout chain Big Lots which now has an international foods aisle.
Dora3 Apricot Jam Croissants come in a pack of 6 individually-wrapped croissants filled with apricot jam for
$2.50.
I was a bit dubious but curious about buying a package of croissants since I've really never seen it done before; I only see croissants sold in bakeries and bakery departments. There aren't any croissants in the bread aisle but I figured there must be a good reason for that. If Dora3 Apricot Jame Croissants are any indication, there is.
The texture is that of a very cheap croissant with very little of the buttery flakiness that you typically want from a croissant.
I liked the apricot jam but there wasn't too much to be found inside the croissant.
Overall, I'd take a pass on this one unless you really want shelf-stable croissants that you can leave in your pantry for a while. Otherwise, your better option would be to buy some recently baked croissants and spread the jam on yourself.
