Van Gilse Schenkstroop (The Original)

Van Gilse Schenkstroop is a quintessential Dutch pancake syrup, widely recognized for its deep caramel flavor and smooth texture. The brand's history dates back to 1882, founded by the Van Gilse family in Steenbergen, North Brabant. It has become a staple in Dutch households, synonymous with traditional 'pannenkoeken'.

Manufacturing primarily takes place in the Netherlands, specifically within the facilities of Cosun Beet Company (formerly Suiker Unie). The brand evolved from a family-run sugar business into a central brand of the massive Royal Cosun cooperative. This ownership structure ensures that the sugar used in these products is sourced from Dutch sugar beet farmers who are members of the cooperative, maintaining a strictly local supply chain and high production standards in the European agri-food sector.
