The industrial history of Warsaw, stories of historic markets and a tasting of products from local producers – this is the new tour offered by the Norblin Factory Museum, joining the Museum’s summer programme from 29 August
Can the history of a city be told through… taste? It turns out it can. “A Taste of History: From the Norblin Factory to BioBazar” is a new experience for anyone who wants to discover Warsaw not only through its monuments and architecture, but also through its culinary traditions.
The tour begins at the Norblin Factory Museum, where participants will learn about the history of one of Warsaw’s most important industrial establishments. Among historic machinery and the famous silver-plated tableware, they will discover what dining and serving meals looked like at a time when Norblin Factory products found their way onto tables across Poland and many European countries
The next stage is a story about Warsaw’s historic markets and the city’s food culture. How did the capital’s residents do their shopping? What did people eat every day, and what was reserved for special occasions? How did Warsaw’s culinary traditions change? Participants will discover the answers during the walk leading to BioBazar.
The tour concludes with a tasting of products prepared by local producers. Depending on the season, participants may sample artisan cheeses, homemade pesto, blinis with gravlax, organic bread and other products available at BioBazar.
The tour is led by Anna Bloch, a licensed Warsaw tour guide and creator of Warsaw Food Stories, who has been promoting the history of the city through its culinary heritage for years.
