I’ve never been disappointed when eating wafer bars from Poland, so with this delectable track record, I thought it high time to try some other Polish confections, starting with the country’s leading brand of chocolate – E. Wedel.
E. Wedel was established in 1851 in Warsaw by Karol Wedel, and is Poland’s oldest chocolate firm. His son Emil took control of the family business, including a brand shop, cafe and factory, in 1865. His chocolate proved so popular that each bar was eventually stamped with his signature in order to discourage copy-cat products – you can still see this stamp on their products today!
This particular bar is composed of dark chocolate (50%) with a cream and cherry filling. Despite my enthusiasm, I’m not a great fan of chocolate and cherries, and this did effect my enjoyment of this bar, however, each of the individual components of this bar are very tasty! I love dark chocolate, and the chocolate used here is rich, but not bitter and is very enjoyable. Inside the semi-soft cream and cherry puree are a wonderful pairing – any tartness from the fruit is softened by the fondant and the cherry taste is rather fresh and unmistakable!
For me, the bar’s three components individually are very palatable, but together, cherries and chocolates is just not for me. I do recommend you give it a try though, or any of their other fruity and inventive flavours as it’s quality stuff, and I’ll definitely be trying more of E. Wedel chocolate in the future!
