Traditional Polish Wedding Bread • Organic Artisan Sourdough • Handcrafted in Des Plaines, Illinois

Celebrate love, family, and Polish heritage with Chef SEBA’s Polski Chleb Weselny—a traditional Polish wedding sourdough bread created for the meaningful chleb i sól, or bread-and-salt, welcome.

Traditional Polish Wedding Bread and Salt

According to an old Polish wedding tradition, the parents greet the newlyweds with bread and salt as they arrive at the wedding reception.

• Bread represents abundance and the wish that the couple’s home will never know hunger or need.
• Salt represents life’s challenges and reminds the newlyweds to face every difficult moment together.
• The welcome symbolizes love, family unity, strength, and the beginning of married life.

Some Polish families also include wine or vodka as part of the welcome. Each family may perform the tradition a little differently, but bread and salt remain at the heart of this cherished ceremony.

A Wedding Tradition Baked with Love

Chef SEBA’s Polish wedding bread is more than an artisan sourdough loaf. It carries a blessing from one generation to the next and creates a beautiful connection between the newlyweds, their families, and their Polish heritage.

Every wedding loaf is mixed, naturally fermented, shaped, scored, and baked by hand. The heart decoration symbolizes the love and new life the couple will share.
