  • Since 1880
We are the oldest and largest factory of the most famous Dutch cookie, the gingerbread!  Since 1880 'purveyor to Sinterklaas'.  Of every 100 gingerbread nuts sold in the Netherlands, approximately 75 come from our bakery.  And there are quite a few; The Dutch eat more than 7 billion gingerbread nuts together.  Every year again. 

In 1880, Jan van Delft started Zaan Van Delft Biscuits in Koog.  And in the same street where Albert Heijn and Verkade opened their first store.  In 1958 the bakery moved to its current location in Harderwijk.  Van Delft was one of the first bakers with a conveyor belt oven for the production of gingerbread nuts. “As a result, we have become the largest and oldest gingerbread factory in the world.  Growth through innovation is still our common thread,” says Oscar de Lange, director and owner. “New products are added every year.”
