Bolletje Schuddebuikjes

Bolletje Schuddebuikjes are a popular Dutch snack consisting of small, crunchy gingerbread (speculaas) chunks. The brand, Bolletje, was founded in 1954 in Almelo, Netherlands, by the Ter Beek family, who transformed their local bakery roots into a massive industrial success.

The product is manufactured in the Netherlands, specifically at Bolletje's dedicated bakeries. As of 2024, Bolletje remains an independent Dutch company with its headquarters and primary production facilities still located in Almelo. The brand has become an iconic part of Dutch breakfast and snacking culture, particularly known for its playful branding featuring the distinctive baker logo.
