Poles often use this phrase when talking about 'domowe' (homemade) vs 'sklepowe' (store-bought). There is a strong cultural belief that homemade food is inherently superior. In business, using this phrase can be a strong way to emphasize a 'competitive advantage'. It shows confidence in a product or service. The phrase is a staple in 'metamorfozy' (makeovers) or 'before and after' posts, especially in interior design and beauty. Guests use this phrase to flatter their hosts. It's a way of saying 'Your hospitality is on a level I've never seen before'.
