Our story

The story of Krówka Szczecińska

Krówka Szczecińska is a few years old. The company that makes it is more than twenty. Here is how one led to the other.

Wrapping krówki by hand

Beginnings

It started with MATRIX

In 2000, Grupa Dystrybucyjna Matrix was founded in Szczecin – a family company that went into sweets.

For twenty years we worked with other producers’ sweets. We delivered them to shops and saw what disappeared from the shelves fastest.

In 2020 we decided to make something of our own. We chose krówka – a sweet every Pole knows from childhood, and one whose taste everyone knows by heart.

That is how Krówka Szczecińska began: with butter and milk, no palm oil, wrapped by hand. In Szczecin, because this is where we are from.

How it’s made

By hand, piece by piece

Here, the mass is poured, cut and wrapped by people. That is why every piece is a slightly different shape – and that is how it should be.

  1. Kettle of krówka mass on the boil

    Cooking

    Sugar, milk, butter and cream go into the kettle.

  2. Poured krówka mass cooling in a tray

Szczecin

Szczecin on the box

There is an anchor on the wrapper because Szczecin is a port. The Magnolia box shows four views of the city among magnolias. We also hold the ‘Zrobione w Szczecinie’ (Made in Szczecin) certificate.
