Perla Superiore Espresso No. 09 Forte

Perla is one of the oldest and most established coffee brands in the Netherlands, with a history dating back to its founding in 1895 as a coffee roasting house. It is the house brand for the major Dutch supermarket chain Albert Heijn, offering a wide variety of coffee products from ground beans to compatible espresso capsules.

Traditionally, Perla coffee is roasted and produced within the Netherlands to maintain consistent freshness and quality for the local market. The brand signifies a balance of heritage and modern convenience, specifically designed for various brewing systems including Nespresso-compatible machines.

As the private label coffee brand of Albert Heijn, Perla is ultimately owned by Ahold Delhaize, a global retail powerhouse formed from the merger of the Dutch Ahold and Belgian Delhaize groups. This corporate backing ensures that while the brand remains deeply rooted in Dutch coffee culture, it benefits from the extensive logistics and sustainability standards of a major international group.
