Mmm...mmm...take a look at these beauties! We take our classic croissant dough - with all 96 layers of Normandy butter - and envelope our house made blackberry compote and Valrhona dark chocolate. After they come out of the oven, we brush on some simple syrup to give it a little extra sweetness and a crunchy finish. Pre-orders for this week are now open!

CELEBRATE Happy birthday to Joshua! Joshua, pictured on the far right, is our night shift croissant production assistant. He's coming up soon on his one year anniversary with IZOLA and we are grateful for your contributions Joshua! Thanks to Dojo Lead Lidia for taking the time to organize a nice celebration for the Dojo team. It's always busy at the bakeshop and our teams are working hard, but we are grateful for this reminder of how important it is for us to slow down, celebrate and appreciate one another. Admittedly this is something that Jenny and I still need to work on, but what we've learned is to seize even the smallest moments. Whether that's taking a 15 minute break and going for a walk around the block together with our pup Sam, or even just lingering for 30 seconds longer when giving each other a hug goodbye.

TAHITIAN VANILLA... For our Tahitian Vanilla Knots, we use whole Tahitian vanilla beans to infuse the croissant dough and again in the icing that enrobes each knot, where you can see the vanilla caviar throughout the icing. But why do we use Tahitian vanilla? As with all of our ingredient choices here at IZOLA, we use whole Tahitian vanilla beans because after extensive testing we found that they provided the best overall flavor. Real vanilla is the second most expensive spice in the world (our cost is $212 per pound, and in part why 95% of vanilla products are now flavored with imitation "vanillin"), with Tahitian vanilla being the most coveted type of vanilla for its flavor. Tahitian vanilla beans are harvested only when they are ripe and come from the fruit (or pods) of an orchid varietal. They are cured in the sun to help remove moisture from the bean, then are bundled to help leech moisture. This process of drying and bundling repeats until the final moisture level reaches 55%.
Our team cuts open each bean and hand scrapes the vanilla caviar out of each bean. A lengthy process, yes, but so worth it! The next time you're enjoying a Tahitian Vanilla Knot, breathe the scent in, long and slow, and you'll be hit with the complex aromatics of the Tahitian vanilla bean. Pre-order your Tahitian Vanilla Knot now, orders for this week are now open. We'll be baking hot from the oven this Thursday - Sunday, from 8a-1p. We also hold aside at least half of our inventory each day, so if you don't have a pre-order, no problem, just pop on by. Have a pre-order and in a hurry? No problem! Double park downstairs and call us at (619) 289-8358, we'll run your order down to you with a smile. We call it IZOLA DRIVE-BY.
