Jumbo Burger Kaas (Burger Cheese)

Jumbo Burger Kaas is a popular dairy product specifically designed for use on hamburgers, known for its meltability and characteristic orange hue. It is a private-label product developed by Jumbo, one of the largest supermarket chains in the Netherlands.

The brand's story began in 1921 in Veghel, where the Van Eerd family started their grocery business. Over decades, Jumbo evolved into a retail giant, eventually launching its own house brand to provide competitively priced alternatives to name-brand goods. While the product is marketed under the Jumbo brand, the actual production is handled by specialized dairy manufacturers across Europe, primarily located within the Netherlands to ensure freshness and logistical efficiency.

As a private label, the ultimate owner is Jumbo Supermarkten B.V., which remains a family-owned enterprise through the parent holding company, Stichting Administratiekantoor Van Eerd Groep. This structure ensures that both the brand management and the corporate ownership remain rooted in the Netherlands.
