History of Verkade:
On May 2, 1886, Ericus Gerhardus Verkade opened his Steam, Bread, and Biscuit Factory "De Ruyter." The name "De Ruyter" was a tribute to the past, referring to the first flour mill in West-Zaandam. Originally, Verkade produced bread, biscuits, honey gingerbread, and Langetjes, later followed by wax lights. The Verkade brand logo retained the name "De Ruyter." Over time, Verkade shifted its focus to the production of cookies and chocolate.

Verkade, the most beautiful brand in the Netherlands, continues to be synonymous with delicious cookies and chocolate that find a place in kitchen cabinets and on tables throughout the Netherlands.
