Echte Enkhuizer is a traditional Dutch brand famous for its Jodekoek (Jewish biscuits), which are thick, round shortbread-style cookies. The brand's origin dates back to 1920 in the Dutch town of Enkhuizen, initially produced by local bakers. The distinct purple tins or tubes have become an iconic part of Dutch snack culture over the last century.

Over the years, the brand transitioned from a family-run bakery to a industrial scale production. Today, Echte Enkhuizer is a part of the Lotus Bakeries portfolio, a major Belgian multinational food company. Despite the corporate ownership, the production remains grounded in the Netherlands, maintaining the original recipe and traditional craftsmanship that has defined the brand for over 100 years.
