Thanks to this, it tastes exactly as it used to, and its unique qualities stem directly from the precise proportions of ingredients and spices. Hunter's Bigos is made with sauerkraut and several types of high-quality meat (country sausage, smoked bacon, and quick-smoked sausage).

The addition of dried mushrooms and spices refines the flavor, while pork lard and natural butter ensure the dish's perfect consistency.

Serving Suggestion – What to Serve Hunter's Bigos With?

Hunter's Bigos is a delicious delicacy worth serving warm. You can reheat it, for example, in a saucepan, microwave, or frying pan – due to its high fat content, it doesn't require the addition of oil or olive oil.

However, if you don't have the time or inclination to reheat, you can also enjoy our Bigos cold – it's ready to eat immediately after opening the jar. Hunter's Bigos tastes best with traditionally baked bread, which you'll also find in our selection.

You can also serve it with your favorite type of groats or potatoes, for example, boiled or baked. This way, you'll have a filling and nutritious meal.

The prepared dish is then placed in jars so you can savor its unique flavor in the comfort of your home. Bigos is a dish we most often reach for in winter, when our bodies crave hearty meals.

History of Sauerkraut Bigos

This cabbage delicacy likely originated in the 15th century when a housewife wanted to use up leftovers from the holidays. Since Polish cuisine was full of various pickles, she decided to combine them with meat.

Bigos was eaten during travels and hunting trips, hence its name, "hunter's." Old Polish bigos was made with game; today, pork or beef is more commonly used. Nowadays, to bring out the depth of its flavor faster, you can also add a few spoons of tomato paste or dried plums.
