Bommelsens

Bommelsens is a traditional Dutch confectionery product, originating from the town of Oosterhout in the province of North Brabant. It is named after the local mayor, Jan Bommels, who is said to have invented the treat in the early 20th century. Bommelsens are small, round biscuits with a diameter of about 3.5 centimeters, typically flavored with almonds, hazelnuts, or chocolate. The biscuits are soft and slightly chewy, with a crispy outer layer.

The production process of Bommelsens involves mixing flour, sugar, butter, and flavoring agents, followed by rolling out the dough and cutting it into circles. The biscuits are then baked at a high temperature to achieve their characteristic crispy exterior and soft interior. After baking, the biscuits are cooled and packaged for distribution.

Bommelsens are popular in the Netherlands and have gained international recognition as a traditional Dutch treat. They are often enjoyed as a snack or used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt. The biscuits are also a popular ingredient in various Dutch desserts and pastries.

Despite its widespread popularity, Bommelsens is not a registered trademark, and similar products can be found in other countries. However, the original Bommelsens produced in Oosterhout remains a beloved classic in Dutch confectionery.
