Certificates and awards
High quality is part of our philosophy. The production processes are strictly controlled and certified.
The highest quality of Wedel products has its origins from the very existence of the E.Wedel brand. Jan Wedel – the grandson of the company’s founder, was very restrictive in the area of hygiene in the factory, but also personally supervised each transport of cocoa beans. He examined the samples, assessed their ripeness and quality, and decided which type of chocolate to use for a given grain. Invariably, the E.Wedel brand for the production of its chocolate sweets uses only the highest quality cocoa beans from Ghana, still using traditional technology, which guarantees a unique taste.
The guarantee of the best quality is due to the entire supply chain and all stages of production. It is confirmed by certificates and is a priority for us. Controls at every stage of production and restrictions in the area of hygiene are necessary to maintain the highest level of food safety.
