NEW CHOCOLATES:
Our neighbours, onze Belgische vrienden are very very good at making chocolates. This year we have a new line from Belgium: Cupido Chocolates.

They come in a few different flavours, but one of them stands out as a true classic: the Advocaat flavour.

For anyone who hasn't tried it yet, Advocaat is a Dutch liqueur made from egg yolks, sugar, and brandy, whipped into a rich, custard-like cream.

It’s a staple of Dutch comfort food culture and traditionally enjoyed by the spoonful (sometimes with a dollop of whipped cream) or used as a rich filling in chocolates, tarts, and pastries during the holidays and family gatherings.

ZENTIS MARZIPAN POTATOES:

If you grew up with these, you already know. Each little potato is carefully shaped and lightly dusted with cocoa powder for that classic rustic look. Inside, you get a delightfully soft, fine-textured marzipan that melts right on the tongue.

This year we’ve brought them in with a few different twists: including Speculaas, rum, and even mango! More Marzipan items will arrive later!

These premium stollen we’ve brought in come in amazing flavors like almond butter, rum, and so much more (and yes, they freeze really well!)

SINTERKLAAS & CHRISTMAS update !

FINALLY, some Sinterklaas items have arrived, and on top of that, we’ve got something funny to share: but you’ll read all about that a little later in the newsletter!

We’ve just unpacked some kruidnootjes, some chocolade kruidnootjes, and the famous taai taai!

Lately, so many people have been asking for pepernoten and kruidnoten, or wondering what the actual difference is between the two.

Het verschil (The difference):

Kruidnoten are small, hard, crunchy, round cookies spiced with speculaaskruiden (gingerbread spices). They look a bit like tiny little rocks.

Pepernoten (the traditional ones) are completely different: they are softer, chewy, irregular in shape, and made with honey and anise (anijs)!

Geen zorgen: right now we have received our first batch of kruidnoten, next week more are on the way, and later this season we will finally receive the real traditional pepernoten. We will aankondigen (announce) it as soon as they are here!

Chocoladeletters (chocolate letters) are coming in real, real soon too! We are still waiting on the exact delivery date, but it can’t be too long now. Gezellig!

NEW CHEESE: This cheese couldn't possibly be any more Dutch.

Amsterdamse Uitjes (Pickled Onion, see below more info!) cheese. To be honest, I'm kind of surprised this wasn't invented sooner. If you grew up going to Dutch birthday parties (kringverjaardagen) surrounded by traditional bitterballen and snack tables, you know that cheese and little pickled Amsterdam onions are an absolute staple. Put them together and it just makes sense. You get that punchy pickled onion flavor, rich creamy Gouda, and a tiny bit of satisfying crunch.

Honestly, slice this up for a sandwich, melt it on a burger, or just eat it straight off the cutting board. It's fantastic.

What are Amsterdamse Uitjes?

Amsterdamse uitjes are small, crisp cocktail onions pickled in a bright, lightly spiced vinegar brine.

Unlike sharp, pungent raw onions, these have a clean, tangy bite with a subtle touch of sweetness and a really satisfying crunch. They aren't face-puckeringly sour like a dill pickle; instead, they have a mellow, aromatic profile
