National Crotilla Day

National Crotilla Day celebrated Walmart’s Crotilla, a 2017 food release described as a “fusion of croissant and tortilla.” The product was a flaky, butter-made flatbread that looked like a round tortilla but had the taste and texture of a flattened, less airy croissant. It did not wrap or fold easily like a traditional tortilla, prompting plenty of questions—and some skepticism—about how it should be eaten. Fox News reported on the Crotilla’s release and its social-media reception.

Walmart created National Crotilla Day to celebrate the item’s release on April 25, 2017. Suggested uses included topping Crotillas with Nutella, making tiny flatbread pizzas, and preparing breakfast sandwiches, chocolate-cinnamon rollups, or mezze platters. The holiday is listed as occurring on April 25.

How to Observe National Crotilla Day

Celebrate by learning about the Crotilla’s unusual croissant-and-tortilla design and trying a sweet or savory flatbread-inspired snack. If you have access to a Crotilla, follow the ideas associated with its 2017 launch: add a chocolate-hazelnut spread, make a tiny flatbread pizza, or use it in a breakfast sandwich. You can also share your thoughts on whether it seems more like a pastry, a tortilla, or something in between.
