Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the name Wawel come from?
From Wawel Hill in Kraków, the site of the royal castle and cathedral that served as the seat of Polish kings for centuries. The company has produced in Kraków since the late nineteenth century and took the city’s most recognizable landmark as its name.
What is Wawel best known for?
Two chocolate bars and a jelly. Danusia is the classic nut-and-cream filled bar, Krówkowy carries the fudge flavor of Polish krówki caramels, and Fresh & Fruity are the fruit jelly sweets. Wawel is also known for its praline lines, including Malaga, Tiki Taki and Kasztanki.
What is the difference between Wawel and Wedel?
They are the two heritage names of Polish confectionery and they sit in different places. Wedel is the older Warsaw house, best known for chocolate bars and its foam sweets. Wawel comes out of Kraków and leans toward filled bars, pralines and fruit jellies. Most Polish households keep both.
