Calvé Pindakaas with Peanut Pieces

Calvé is the most iconic peanut butter brand in the Netherlands, carrying a legacy that dates back to the late 19th century. Although the brand was originally synonymous with oil production in Delft, it became the Dutch gold standard for peanut butter (Pindakaas) in 1948. The product shown, 'Stukjes Pinda', is the crunchy variety containing real peanut fragments, known for its high nutritional value and smooth texture.

While Calvé originated as a French-Dutch partnership between the Calvé and Van Marken families, it has for several decades been a flagship brand under the Unilever umbrella. Today, the product is primarily manufactured in the Unilever factory located in Hellendoorn, Netherlands. Unilever remains the ultimate owner, managing the brand globally from its headquarters in London, maintaining Calvé's status as a staple in European households.
