Van Gilse Schenkstroop

Van Gilse is a quintessential Dutch brand with a history dating back to 1882, when it was founded by the Van Gilse family. They specialize in a wide range of sugar products, including their famous 'Schenkstroop' (pouring syrup), which is a staple in Dutch households for pancakes and waffles. The syrup is primarily made from sugar beets grown in the Netherlands.

Today, the brand is owned by Cosun Beet Company (formerly Suiker Unie), which is the sugar-producing arm of the Royal Cosun cooperative. Manufacturing remains focused in the Netherlands, utilizing local agricultural resources to maintain its traditional quality and heritage. The brand has remained the market leader in the Netherlands for sugar and syrup products for decades.
