Van Gilse Schenkstroop soft syrup

Van Gilse Schenkstroop De Originele is a quintessential Dutch condiment, widely recognized as the leading brand for pancake syrup in the Netherlands. The product is crafted following a traditional 'Old Dutch' recipe that emphasizes a rich, caramel-like flavor and a thick, smooth consistency. It is primarily used as a topping for pancakes, poffertjes (mini pancakes), and waffles, though it is also commonly added to yogurt and porridge.

The brand has a long history spanning over 100 years and is deeply rooted in the Dutch agricultural sector. The syrup is produced using sugar beets grown locally in the Netherlands. Manufacturing typically takes place in the North Brabant or Groningen regions, where the parent company operates large-scale processing facilities. Van Gilse is a consumer brand of the Cosun Beet Company, ensuring that the entire production chain—from the beet fields to the bottled syrup—remains largely domestic.
