The founder of Oliehoorn
This year marks forty years since Klaas van Kalken started selling edible oils and fats from home under the name 'De Oliehoorn'. In doing so, he laid the foundation for the traditional preparation of our sauces. Something for which we are of course very grateful to Klaas.
Year 1982-1999
The successor
With the arrival of Wim Dijk, Oliehoorn developed strongly in recent years. The company's base was in the cafeteria and snack bar business, where its mayonnaises, fry sauces, ketchups and curry sauces were in great demand.
Wim brought Frisian swagger into the tent.
And that's still there.
Partly because of this, we make our own choices.
Year 1999-2019
The innovator
With Arjan we have an innovator in house.
'The world is changing, so are flavors. That's why we invest a lot in natural flavors. It helps that chefs in the hospitality industry set the bar of quality high and have an interest in developing very tasty mayonnaises themselves based on natural ingredients.'
Every day Arjan is busy with Oliehoorn's mission. Making food tastier. The starting point is that people especially enjoy flavors that are pure and delicious.
