Kanjers Originele Stroopwafels

Kanjers Stroopwafels are a quintessentially Dutch snack, originally created by banketbakkerij (bakery) J.G. van der Breggen in Gouda. These distinctive syrup waffles have been a staple of the Dutch biscuit market since the brand was formally introduced in 1995. The product consists of two thin waffle layers joined by a caramel-like syrup filling.

Today, the Kanjers brand is a significant name in the 'stroopwafel' segment, known for its various packaging formats suitable for on-the-go consumption and sharing. The manufacturing remains rooted in the Netherlands, primarily in the town of Gouda, ensuring that the traditional recipe maintains its regional authenticity.

Ownership of the brand has transitioned through industry consolidation. It is currently part of the portfolio of Royal Smilde, a prominent Dutch family-owned company specializing in high-quality food products. Under Royal Smilde's management, Kanjers has expanded its distribution, making these traditional treats available in supermarkets and petrol stations across Western Europe while maintaining their Dutch heritage.
