Albert Heijn Fruit Spread Aardbei

Albert Heijn Fruit Spread Aardbei is a private label product from the prominent Dutch retail chain Albert Heijn. This specific spread is characterized by its high fruit content (81%) and is marketed as a healthier alternative to traditional jams by containing less sugar.

The brand originated in the Netherlands in 1887 when Albert Heijn took over his father's grocery store in Oostzaan. Today, the brand is the primary label of Albert Heijn B.V., which is a major subsidiary of the multinational retail conglomerate Ahold Delhaize. While Albert Heijn products are primarily manufactured in the Netherlands to support local supply chains, the raw materials like strawberries may be sourced globally depending on the season and availability. The ultimate ownership remains with Ahold Delhaize, headquartered in Zaandam, Netherlands.
