Verkade a true Dutch brand
Verkade was founded on May 2, 1886. Then Ericus Gerhardus Verkade opened his Steam, Bread and Rusk factory "De Ruyter". The name "De Ruyter" was chosen with a bow to the past; the first flour mill of West Zaandam carried that name. The products of the first hour were; bread, rusk, honey gingerbread and biscuits. "De Ruyter" is now still recognizable in the logo of the Verkade brand. In the course of time Verkade switched to making cookies and chocolate.
