High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Torun gingerbread (Polish: pierniki torunskie, German: Thorner Lebkuchen) is a traditional Polish gingerbread that has been produced since the Middle Ages in the city of Torun (Thorn). Old Polish sayings connect Torun with making some form of "pierniki", and the expansion of the craft regarding making "pierniki" started in 13th century. Well developed bee-keeping, a fertile soil and a trade route leading through this area made this happen. A considerable factor behind the development of gingerbread-making in Torun was its excellent location. Situated on high-quality soil, the area provided fine wheat for flour, while nearby villages provided honey. The necessary spices were brought from remote countries, mainly India, via a route through the Black Sea and Lviv to Germany, where the spices were transported by north-German trade companies. Some also came by sea to the port of Gdansk.
