Verkade was founded on May 2, 1886. 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 Langetjes, later also came the famous tea lights. "De Ruyter" (horseman or rider) is still recognizable in the logo of the Verkade brand. In the course of time Verkade switched over to make cookies and chocolate.

Verkade. The most beautiful brand in the Netherlands.
There is hardly any brand that is more Dutch. With the tastiest cookies and chocolate in the world.

Verkade biscuit tins can be found in cupboards or on table all over the Netherlands.
