Verkade was founded on May 2, 1886. Then Ericus Gerhardus Verkade opened his steam, bread and rusk factory “De Ruyter”. The name “De Ruyter” was chosen with a bow to the past; the first flour mill in West Zaandam bore that name. The products of the first hour were; bread, rusk, honey gingerbread and Langetjes, later the tea lights were added. “De Ruyter” is still recognizable in the logo of the Verkade brand. Over time, Verkade switched to making cookies and chocolate.

Verkade. The most beautiful brand in the Netherlands.
There is hardly a more Dutch brand. With the tastiest cookies and chocolate in the world.

Verkade biscuit tins are in the cupboard or on the table everywhere in the Netherlands.
