Bolletje Kruidnoten

Bolletje Kruidnoten are a traditional Dutch festive snack, specifically associated with the Sinterklaas holiday. These small, crunch cookies are flavored with warm spices like cinnamon and cloves.

The brand Bolletje was founded in 1867 in Almelo, Netherlands, by Gerardus Johannes ter Beek. It grew from a local bakery into a national leader in rusk and seasonal biscuits. The brand remains deeply rooted in Dutch culinary history, with its main production facilities still operating in Almelo and Heerde.

Bolletje is a privately-held company owned by the Dutch group Bolletje B.V. It has maintained its independence and specialized identity within the European snack market for over 150 years.
