Van Gilse De Originele Schenkstroop

Van Gilse is a quintessential Dutch brand specializing in sugar and syrup products, with a history dating back to its founding by Egbertus van Gilse in the late 19th century. The product shown, 'De Originele Schenkstroop' (The Original Pouring Syrup), is a staple in Dutch households, traditionally used on pancakes and poffertjes.

The brand is manufactured locally in the Netherlands, specifically through the processing facilities of its owner. Since 2007, Van Gilse has been part of Cosun Beet Company (formerly Suiker Unie), which is the cooperative sugar business of Royal Cosun. This ownership structure ensures that the brand remains deeply rooted in the Dutch agricultural cooperative tradition, utilizing sugar beets grown by local farmers.
