Wedding Sausage - Weselna
If you know Polish culture, you know that a Polish wedding is a BIG celebration. One of the most elaborate aspects of any Polish wedding is the food that is served for the occasion! In the old days, in the Polish countryside families would celebrate nuptials with their very best homemade foods. In addition to serving a multi-course feast, it was also a particular point of pride for the parents and close family members of the bride and groom to offer the wedding guests a very large spread of the finest meat products (sausages, bacons, head cheese, etc.), often made according to the family’s own recipes and traditions. Though this wedding sausage, called “Kielbasa Weselna” in Polish (from the word “wesele” for “wedding”), does not come from a specific family tradition, it does represent that traditional Polish rustic taste!
The Weselna sausage has a great texture and aromatic flavor achieved by a combination of garlic and spices. It is also double smoked and fully cooked. This high quality kielbasa, made according to Poland’s old rustic traditions would surely be welcome addition to a classic Polish wedding spread, but it’s also suitable for far less festive occasions. Enjoyed at home with a bit of mustard or grated horseradish, with a thick slice of Polish country style bread, it brings back both the tastes and the sentiments of old-world Polish traditions.

Hello Sharon,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re overjoyed to hear that our Wedding Sausage (Weselna) brought back memories of your grandmother’s cooking.
Sent this kielbasa to my son and family as a gift. They though it was the best they've ever had. They have eaten in many Polish restaurants: NYC, Green Point Brooklyn, Montreal, Philadelphia, Buffalo and Cleveland, including Chicago so this is definitely a rave review!

Grew up in a polish household in the northeast. There was a few older guys that knew how to make a good kielbasa. Well they passed on and there families kept it going till they got old and now gone. I now live in the south and there isn't european butchers that even come close anywhere close to where I reside. I found Polana online and tried their kielbasa. My childhood is back.
