San Giorgio Empty Mini Krapfen: the pastry classic, always fresh
San Giorgio Empty Mini Krapfen are frozen fried leavened pastries, 20 g each, to be filled on demand. Each case holds 2.5 kg, that is 72 pieces, made without palm oil. They thaw in 60 minutes at no more than +18 °C, warm briefly in the oven and are dusted with sugar: ready in minutes for buffets, breakfasts and mignon pastry.
What is a krapfen
The krapfen — also known as bombolone or Berliner — is a fried leavened pastry rooted in the Central European tradition, which spread widely across North-Eastern Italy and then the whole peninsula. The “empty” version was created for the food service: the hollow centre allows filling à la minute at service, preventing the cream from soaking the dough during storage. The 20 g mignon format is the contemporary take designed for pastry displays, mixed trays and coffee breaks.
The producer: San Giorgio SpA
San Giorgio SpA was founded in 1980 in Castel San Giorgio, in the province of Salerno, from the artisanal workshop of Sabato Bruno. Over more than forty years the company has become a benchmark of the Italian frozen bakery for the food service, with a range of croissants, cornetti and frozen leavened pastries distributed in Italy and abroad. The choice to work without palm oil reflects the company's attention to the quality of its raw materials.
Product characteristics
The dough is soft and airy, with the typical golden colour of frying. The small 20 g size guarantees bite-sized portions, ideal to reduce waste and broaden the display assortment. The surface, once sugared, stays crisp; the hollow centre is ready to take any filling.

Uses in professional kitchens
Fill after thawing with pastry cream, pistachio cream, melted dark chocolate, apricot jam or hazelnut cream, using a piping bag with a long nozzle. For the hotel breakfast buffet: arrange mixed trays with cornetti and mini danish. For the corporate coffee break: serve 2-3 mini krapfen per person with espresso coffee. For the pastry display: alternate different fillings for a colourful assortment. Always dust the icing sugar cold, just before service, to keep it dry.
Pairings
The mini krapfen is at its best with an Italian whole-bean espresso or a creamy cappuccino. For indulgent fillings pair spreads and pastry creams; for the continental breakfast match it with empty cornetti, croissants and mini danish from the same assortment.
