Order the best-known Dutch gingerbread: Peijnenburg
Peijnenburg gingerbread is by far the best known Dutch brand of gingerbread. For over 130 years, they have been the market leader in gingerbread. Started by baker Harry Peijnenburg in the Brabant village of Geldrop, the company has always embraced innovation, to stay in tune with the needs of their customers. For instance, they debuted the convenient pre-cut gingerbread that you can order from us. As the crowning acknowledgement of their skill, Peijnenburg received a Royal seal of approval on its 100th anniversary. Now that’s quality!
