Kanapka z Baleronem
Baleron is cured, smoked pork neck: a seam of fat runs through every slice, and on bread that fat softens rather than sitting rigid, Poland's fattier answer to a lean ham.
Welcome to our Tartines category – a tour through the delicious world of these open-faced delights!

From the classic French breakfast tartine with butter and jam, to the sophisticated combinations of gourmet ingredients, we're serving up a feast for the eyes and palate.
