E. Wedel Ptasie Mleczko Vanilla-Chocolate, 12 oz (340g)

Bird's milk. That is what ptasie mleczko means, and it is the name Poles give to something so good it ought not to exist. Jan Wedel created it in Warsaw in the 1930s, and it has been the country's best-loved sweet ever since.

The foam is the whole point. It is nothing like a marshmallow — far lighter, and it collapses on the tongue rather than chewing. This is the vanilla-chocolate version: two layers, one vanilla foam and one cocoa foam, under a thin shell of dark dessert chocolate that cracks rather than bends.

This is the Christmas edition carton — navy and gold, with baubles, trees and the Wedel dove. Same sweets inside, but it is the box people put on the table at Wigilia, and it is only around for the season.

Net weight 340 g (12 oz). Made in Warsaw, Poland by E. Wedel, confectioners since 1851. Store in a cool, dry place.

We also carry the cherry version, with a cherry jelly centre under the same dark chocolate.

Contains milk. The full ingredient and allergen declaration is printed on the carton — please read it if you have an allergy, or call us on (707) 527-0319 and we will read it to you off the box.
