Perla Cafe Au Lait coffee capsules

Perla is a historic Dutch coffee brand that has been a staple in the Netherlands for over a century. Founded in 1895 as the private label coffee brand for the Albert Heijn grocery store chain, it was originally established in Zaandam. Over the decades, it has grown from a local roastery into one of the most popular coffee brands in the Dutch market, known for its wide variety of blends and roasts.

The brand remains a proprietary label of Ahold Delhaize, one of the world's largest food retail groups. While the product is specifically designed to be compatible with systems like Dolce Gusto, it is produced under the strict quality standards of the Dutch retail giant. Most Perla coffee products are roasted and packaged in the Netherlands, specifically through Ahold Delhaize's dedicated supply chain and roasting facilities that serve its supermarkets across Europe.
