About us

Started in 1999 by Damien Rabut, Euro Classic Imports is a an importer and distributor of specialty European frozen baked goods. For more than 15 years, Damien and Euro Classic Imports have been keen on finding new quality and innovative products to offer to the US consumers.

“I grew up in France, in Lyon, surrounded by great (the greatest!) food. I remember these amazing smells of bread and fresh pastries during our family reunion every Sunday, and going every day to the corner bakery to pick up some viennoiseries (French pastries).. When I arrived in the USA for my studies, in 1991, I immediately embraced the American culture but I totally missed my buttery, puffy French croissants on the morning! 8 years without it was too long! In 1999, I launched Euro Classic Imports, and in 2000 I started importing all butter French croissant, that I was delivering every day in Philadelphia area with my small old truck. 15 years later, Euro Classic has muliplied his business, launched new unique and authentic pastries but always kept (and will always keep) the same values: Innovation, uniqueness, authenticity, quality, Passion.”
