About Verkade:
Verkade, founded on May 2, 1886, by Ericus Gerhardus Verkade, began as a steam-powered bakery and biscuit factory under the name “De Ruyter,” named after the first flour mill in West Zaandam. Over time, Verkade has evolved into a renowned brand for cookies and chocolate, with the name “De Ruyter” still present in the logo. The brand is an icon of Dutch tradition and culture.


This vintage cookie tin is a valuable addition to any collection and a tangible reminder of Verkade's rich history.
