Belbake Schenkstroop (Syrup)

Belbake Schenkstroop is a traditional pouring syrup commonly used as a topping for pancakes, poffertjes, and other desserts. It is a private-label brand exclusively managed by the German discount supermarket chain Lidl. While the brand is part of Lidl's international portfolio, this specific product is manufactured in the Netherlands to cater to local culinary traditions, where 'schenkstroop' (pouring syrup) is a staple. The production is typically handled by specialized Dutch third-party syrup manufacturers under contract for the retailer.

The ultimate ownership of the Belbake brand lies with the Schwarz Group, a massive German retail conglomerate that also owns the Kaufland supermarket chain. Schwarz Group is one of the largest retailers in the world, maintaining its headquarters in Neckarsulm, Germany. Because Belbake is a private label, it is distributed and managed directly by Lidl’s regional subsidiaries in the countries where they operate.
