Bensdorp is a traditional chocolate and cocoa brand with deep historical roots in the Netherlands. Founded in 1840 by Gerardus Bensdorp in Amsterdam, the brand became famous for its high-quality Dutch-processed cocoa powder. The iconic branding often features cultural imagery and the tagline 'Eine Weltmarke' (A World Brand), reflecting its international reach throughout the 20th century.

While the brand originated in Holland, its manufacturing and primary market presence shifted toward Austria and surrounding regions after various corporate acquisitions. Today, the brand is part of the extensive portfolio of the Barry Callebaut Group, one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-quality chocolate and cocoa products. While production was historically centered in Amsterdam, modern Bensdorp products for the European retail market are often manufactured in facilities across the European Union, specifically in Austria.
