Van Gilse Sugar Syrup

Van Gilse is a historic Dutch brand established in 1887, specializing in a wide variety of sugar products including syrups, granulated sugars, and powders. The product shown is their classic Schenkenstroop (pouring syrup), which is a staple in Dutch households, traditionally used as a topping for pancakes (pannenkoeken) and poffertjes.

The brand is manufactured locally in the Netherlands. It is currently owned by Cosun Beet Company (formerly known as Suiker Unie), which is the sugar-producing arm of Royal Cosun. This cooperative is owned by thousands of sugar beet growers, representing a significant portion of the Dutch agricultural sector. The production processes are deeply integrated with the local sugar beet harvest, maintaining a sustainable and regional supply chain.
