Karvan Cévitam Original Cassis

Karvan Cévitam is a prominent Dutch brand specializing in fruit syrups, widely recognized for its high-concentration cordials that are diluted with water. Founded in 1948, the brand has become a staple in Dutch households, known for its distinct metal containers and a wide variety of flavors, with Cassis (blackcurrant) being one of its most iconic offerings.

Originally established in the Netherlands, the brand was part of the CSM (Centrale Suiker Maatschappij) portfolio for many years. In 2001, it was acquired by H.J. Heinz. Following the massive merger between Kraft and Heinz in 2015, the brand transitioned to the ownership of the Kraft Heinz Company. Today, it remains a market leader in the syrup category in the Benelux region, emphasizing natural flavors and added vitamins.

While the brand's heart and primary production facilities are located in the Netherlands to serve the local and European markets, as part of a global conglomerate like Kraft Heinz, parts of the supply chain and manufacturing processes may involve multiple international locations. The product continues to be marketed heavily on its Dutch heritage and long-standing history since the mid-20th century.
