Ujeździec Mały, Poland

Poland's largest kabanosy producer, founded by Jacek Tarczyński in 1989 in Sułów and now headquartered in Ujeździec Mały, a village outside Trzebnica in Lower Silesia. Tarczyński runs three plants in Poland and turns out kabanosy by the million each day, but the product still follows the Polish EU-protected recipe: long, thin, smoke-dried pork sausages with 170 grams of meat per 100 grams of finished product, seasoned with pepper, caraway, and garlic, hung in beech smoke and dried until the casing shrivels. Their Kabanos Exclusive line is what most Poles abroad pack into their suitcases to take home.
