Duyvis Tijgernootjes BBQ Paprika

Duyvis Tijgernootjes are a popular Dutch snack consisting of peanuts encased in a double-layered, extra-crunchy coating. This specific variety features a savory BBQ and Paprika seasoning. The brand's history dates back to 1806 when Teewis Duyvis founded an oil mill in the Zaan region of the Netherlands. Initially focused on livestock feed and oils, the company pivoted to consumer snacks in the 1960s, introducing the famous 'Borrelnootjes' and later 'Tijgernootjes' in the 1990s.

Today, the brand is a staple of Dutch social gatherings. Production remains largely localized in the Netherlands, specifically at their modern facility in Zaandam, which was built on the original site of the 1806 mill. Ownership has transitioned through several major corporations, including Akzo and Sara Lee, before being acquired by the American multinational PepsiCo in 2006. Under PepsiCo, Duyvis has maintained its strong Dutch identity while benefiting from global distribution networks.
