The kouign amann has long been known for its caramelized exterior, buttery layers, and rich texture—but at Dutchland, we’ve taken this traditional French pastry a step further. Our filled kouign amanns offer the same artisan quality with the added appeal of a smooth, flavorful center.

It’s a small change with a big payoff.

A Layered Pastry with More to Offer

While most kouign amanns on the market are unfilled, our filled versions feature thoughtfully developed flavor profiles that complement the dough rather than overpower it. Whether it’s a cinnamon swirl or a fruit-infused cream, each flavor is balanced to enhance the caramelized shell and flaky interior—not mask it.

More Visual Appeal, More Menu Flexibility

The added filling opens the door for variety without changing your process. Retailers and foodservice programs can rotate seasonal flavors, appeal to a broader customer base, and refresh their pastry case without adding new SKUs or equipment. It’s an easy way to introduce something new without starting from scratch.

Same Dough, Same Process—Smarter Execution

Our filled kouign amanns are made with the same real-butter laminated dough used in our core line. They’re available frozen and ready to bake, making them a practical solution for in-store bakery teams, cafés, and regional distributors who need consistency at scale.


Dutchland’s filled kouign amanns offer the same artisan texture and finish—with just enough innovation to stand out in a crowded case. For bakeries looking to differentiate, it’s a fresh take on a fast-moving favorite.

There’s something nostalgic — almost romantic — about a classic palmier. Those crisp, caramelized layers folded into a delicate swirl of puff pastry? Timeless.

But sometimes, tradition could use a little extra sparkle.

That’s why we gave the beloved palmier a bold new twist. Meet our Raspberry Chip and Cinnamon Chip Palmiers — flavor-packed, ready-to-bake pastries designed to stand out in today’s commercial bakery displays.

At Dutchland Foods, we specialize in frozen, pre-proofed pastries built for real-world efficiency. We’re here to help bakeries, grocery retailers, cafés, and hotels deliver fresh-from-the-oven quality — without the time-consuming prep. These palmier varieties are the perfect blend of artisan flavor and wholesale practicality.


What Makes Our Palmiers Different?

âś… Real Butter, Real Layers

Flaky, golden, and precision-laminated — our dough delivers a European-style experience that elevates any in-store bakery program or foodservice display.

âś… Flavor Inclusions That Sell Themselves

  • Raspberry Chip – Bright, fruity notes and melty chocolate flecks in every bite.
  • Cinnamon Chip – Sweet, spicy, and irresistibly cozy. A modern take on the nostalgic cinnamon roll vibe.

âś… Ready-to-Bake Simplicity

Our palmier pastries are frozen and ready to bake — no mixing, shaping, or training required. Just tray, bake, and go.

âś… Long Hold Time for Display Cases

They stay crisp and beautiful long after baking — ideal for grab-and-go pastry cases, hotel breakfast bars, or café bakery setups.


Perfect For:

  • Wholesale pastry buyers looking to expand their frozen pastry offerings
  • Retail bakery resets that need low-labor, high-impact SKUs
  • Foodservice operators who want elegant pastries without in-house prep

Why Innovation in Classic Pastries Matters

Shoppers are hungry for flavor — and a pastry that feels handmade. These modernized palmiers bring fresh appeal to a category that’s often overlooked. Whether you’re refreshing your bakery product lineup or building out your private label pastry program, this is a simple upgrade that delivers big results.

Classic Pastry, Modern Flavor Raspberry Chip & Cinnamon Chip Palmiers — Flaky. Flavorful. Ready to Bake.

The kouign amann may not be the easiest pastry to pronounce, but it’s quickly becoming one of the easiest to sell. With its caramelized crust, buttery interior, and upscale feel, this French pastry has found its way into in-store bakeries, cafés, and grocery programs—and it’s holding its own next to longtime favorites like croissants and danishes.

If you’re already carrying kouign amann (or considering adding it to your lineup), here are three ways to help it stand out in your pastry case and drive even stronger sales.

1. Pair It with Coffee—Literally

Few things sell a pastry faster than a great cup of coffee sitting beside it. Position your kouign amann display near your coffee station or add signage that promotes it as the perfect morning or mid-afternoon pairing. If your store offers coffee to-go, consider bundling a kouign amann as a limited-time pastry add-on. “Butter cake and a brew” has a nice ring to it.

2. Lean Into Seasonal Toppings

The classic kouign amann is beautiful on its own, but a seasonal twist can take it even further. Try dusting with cinnamon sugar in the fall, adding a light maple glaze in the winter, or finishing with a fruit compote or citrus drizzle in spring and summer. A little seasonal creativity goes a long way—and it gives customers a reason to come back for what’s new.

3. Showcase the Crust (It Sells Itself)

Don’t hide these in a pile. Kouign amanns are known for their golden, caramelized exterior—that’s the magic, and it should be visible. Use shallow trays or tiered bakery risers that elevate them slightly and give customers a full view of that glossy crust. Clear signage that briefly describes what it is (“flaky, buttery, caramelized pastry from France”) helps reduce buyer hesitation and adds to the elevated feel.

Few products check as many boxes as a well-made fruit turnover. With a flaky, golden exterior and a clean-label fruit filling, Dutchland’s turnovers continue to be a go-to option for retailers and foodservice operators alike. Available in apple, peach, and cherry, these three classic flavors continue to outperform others across multiple markets.

A Product That Works Across the Calendar

One of the key advantages of fruit turnovers is their flexibility. Whether used as a seasonal feature or a core menu item, they offer operators the ability to rotate flavors throughout the year while keeping inventory simple. Cherry brings strong summer appeal, peach works well in spring and early fall, and apple remains a consistent top seller year-round.

Real Ingredients, Real Versatility

All of Dutchland’s turnovers are made with real fruit and clean-label ingredients, paired with our signature laminated dough. The result is a product that delivers on taste and quality without requiring extra labor in the kitchen.

Available in multiple formats—including proofed, ready-to-bake, or as puff pastry sheets for from-scratch assembly—turnovers can be tailored to fit the operational needs of both small-scale cafes and national retail programs.

A Fit for Coffee Shops, Grab-and-Go, and In-Store Bakery

Turnovers are especially effective in settings where consistency, shelf life, and visual appeal matter. That makes them a natural fit for coffee shops, grab-and-go breakfast programs, and retail chains seeking a long-lasting product that doesn’t compromise on quality.

Whether you’re looking to add a seasonal offering or establish a year-round staple, Dutchland’s fruit turnovers offer the reliability and flexibility needed to perform at scale.
