Jan Wedel modernised the logistics department and cars with the inscription ”E.Wedel” and acharacteristic bar of chocolate appeared at the streets of Warsaw. Founded in 1851 by Karl Ernst (Karol Ernest) Wedel (1813-1902), the company and its products became known in most of Central and Eastern Europe. The logo of the company is based on Emil Wedel's signature. [8] His son Emil Albert Fryderyk Wedel (1841-1919) apprenticed in candy and chocolate factories in Western Europe before inheriting and expanding his father's business. His descendant Jan Wedel (d. 1960), the last member of the Wedel family to own the company, was considered "the Willy Wonka" of pre-war Poland. [9] In 1894 the company moved its main factory to Szpitalna street in Warsaw. [6] In 1930, during the time of the Great Depression, Jan Wedel opened a second factory in Praga, one of the most modern in the Second Polish Republic. [8] The company was also known for its very generous social welfare policies. [10] As one of the first in Europe, it had its own crèche, kindergarten, hospital and cafeteria, and rewarded its best employees with interest-free housing loans; its model was highly acclaimed by the Polish Socialist Party. [11] Hence prior to World War II, Wedel became a successful private company, with shops in London and Paris. Traditionally, these sweet treats are made from flour, honey, and a blend of spices including pepper, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, anise, cardamom, coriander, and more. The proportions of these ingredients are often a closely guarded secret of every baker.

The confectionery’s name is derived from its stripy, red and white, crunchy outer layer that resembles crayfish. Grześki’ is a brand of chocolate-coated wafer bars layered with creamy cocoa filling. Although their taste may not earn any culinary accolades, the bars are pleasantly sweet and perfect for satisfying an unexpected sugar craving. Their fun branding and affordable nature make them a favourite among the younger crowd. It’s likely that the name (perhaps also the recipe) for ‘Irysy’ came to Poland from Russia, where they are also a popular treat. According to a local legend, ‘Irysy’ were named by the French confectioner Morna (or Mornas), who worked in St. Petersburg at the turn of the 20th century. Supposedly, Morna noticed the similarity between the candies’ relief and the petals of the iris flower. However, I wasn’t able to find any historical sources to confirm this tale. Michałki’ are chocolate-covered pralines with soft chocolate and peanut filling. These sweet treats are made by several manufacturers and are marketed under various names, including ‘Michaszki’ (both are the diminutive plural forms of the name ‘Michał’) During the communist era, ‘Mieszanka’ became a coveted delicacy among many Poles, and it continues to hold a special place in their hearts to this day. It’s especially popular during Christmas as it served as a perfect complement to the primary gift.
