Vondelmolen

Vondelmolen is Belgium’s leading producer of soft gingerbread (peperkoek) and one of the top three players in Europe. Founded in 1867, this family-owned bakery combines over 150 years of craftsmanship with continuous innovation and a strong focus on sustainability.

Soft gingerbread is a tasty and nutritious bakery product made with just a few natural ingredients: rye flour, honey or sugar syrup, and a signature blend of spices. Our products are a source of fibre, low in fat and salt, and contain both fast and slow-release carbohydrates — making them a smart and energizing choice for all ages.

Naturally vegetarian and made with primarily plant-based ingredients, our gingerbread is enjoyed in many ways: as a daily snack, a wholesome breakfast, a sports boost, or as a flavourful ingredient in both sweet and savoury recipes. Beloved across generations in Belgium, Vondelmolen gingerbread is also making its mark worldwide.

We offer a broad portfolio of recipes — organic or conventional, with or without honey, and enriched with fruits, chocolate, nuts or pearl sugar. All products are vegetarian, with halal, kosher, and vegan options available.

We are strongly committed to sustainability across all aspects of our business. From responsible sourcing and low-impact production to minimal waste, ethical workplace practices, and transparent governance, Vondelmolen upholds the highest ESG standards and proudly holds a UN SDG certificate.
