The aroma of Christmas in Eastern Europe is defined by cinnamon, vanilla, and, most importantly, poppy seeds—a symbol of prosperity. To achieve that authentic taste, the quality of your base ingredients is non-negotiable. At Old Europe Foods, we provide the foundation for your success.
For your poppy seed fillings, we offer two top-tier options: Semix, finely ground and perfect for a quick Kutia, and Paco, known for its intense aroma, ideal for a traditional Poppy Seed Roll (Makowiec). But the filling is only half the battle. The dough requires the right flour. Lubella Krupczatka is essential for shortcrust pastries, while our Wheat Flour (Type 450/500) ensures your pierogi and uszka are light and delicate. Don’t settle for substitutes; choose the brands European homemakers have trusted for generations. Stock up before Christmas Eve and bake like a pro!
