HAK Doperwtjes (Garden Peas)

HAK is an iconic Dutch brand specializing in preserved vegetables and fruits. Founded in 1952 in Giessen, North Brabant, the brand has built a reputation for its commitment to local sourcing, with many of its crops grown within a small radius of its processing facility. The company is well-known for its glass jar packaging, which emphasizes transparency and product quality. After several changes in ownership over the decades, HAK was acquired by the Russian food company KDV Group in 2021. Despite the international ownership, the brand maintains its headquarters and primary manufacturing operations in the Netherlands, continuing its legacy as a staple in Dutch kitchens.
