Van Gilse Donkere Basterdsuiker

Van Gilse Donkere Basterdsuiker consists of dark brown soft sugar, a classic Dutch specialty known for its fine texture and rich molasses flavor. The brand Van Gilse has a heritage dating back to 1833, initially founded as part of the Dutch sugar industry. It is specifically produced using sugar beets grown in the Netherlands.

Today, Van Gilse is the consumer brand of Suiker Unie, which is part of the Royal Cosun cooperative. This means the brand is owned by thousands of Dutch sugar beet farmers. The production processes are centered in the Netherlands, specifically in Dinteloord and Groningen, maintaining a close connection between the local agriculture and the final pantry product.
