[ dead link] Despite their yumminess, ‘Irysy’ seem to have passed their heyday and are becoming increasingly difficult to find. However, they can still occasionally be found at some grocers, where they are sold in individual wrappers either by weight or in plastic bags. For those who crave a taste of nostalgia, the Irysy hunt is still worth undertaking. Raczki ▶ Tap to hear 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. Initially, only one flavour – classic nutty – was available, but now the range has expanded with chocolate and lemon cream options.
Pierniczki’ come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be filled or coated, with varying textures from soft and clay-like to dry and crunchy. Every sweet-tooth has their own preference. Although ‘Kukułki’ contained alcohol, they were freely sold to children and weighed into paper cones by benevolent salespeople. Surprisingly, these candies are still used today to create a liqueur with the same flavour. 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.

The process of making ‘Krówki’ fudge is relatively simple, yet requires significant experience. First, fresh whole milk is poured into a boiler, followed by the addition of sweet syrup and butter, which are then boiled together.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. Ptasie Mleczko’ was a 100% unique and innovative product. Each foam cube was bathed in the renowned Wedel chocolate, creating a sweet treat we all know and love today.

What makes their ‘Teatralny’ stand out is its noticeably crispier and drier wafer texture, which some love and others may not – you’ll have to test it for yourself. It gets a stamp of approval from me. Delicje Szampańskie ▶ Tap to hear Despite being somewhat forgotten in recent years, ‘Irysy’ still evoke feelings of nostalgia for many Poles. To prevent any confusion, since 2014 only E. Wedel products can trade in the EU under the name ‘Ptasie Mleczko’.

For over 150 years it has been associated with genuine and original chocolate. The experience of more than one and a half century won the brand wide recognition, both in Poland and abroad.
