Verkade, a genuine dutch brand.
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 of West Zaandam carried that name. The products of the first hour were; bread, rusk, honey gingerbread and biscuits, later on the also produced tea candles. "De Ruyter" is now still recognizable in the logo of the Verkade brand. In the course of time Verkade switched to making cookies and chocolate.

In 1950 Verkade received the predicate Royal.
