THE BASIS FOR ALL DE KUYPER PRODUCTS
Only the best ingredients are selected for our liqueurs and other distilled products.The ingredients are purchased all over the world and processed in Schiedam into extracts and distillates: the building blocks for our products.
 

HARVESTING THE AROMAS: ESSENCES
De Kuyper still makes many of its essences by means of extraction and distillation. With extraction, aromatic substances like those found in coffee, cocoa, vanilla, cloves and cinnamon are extracted using alcohol. With distillation, the volatile aromatic substances are harvested by distilling the raw material, such as lemon peel, bitter oranges or orange oil, with alcohol in a kettle.
 

PREPARING LIQUEURS AND DISTILLED PRODUCTS
Other ingredients are added to the extracts and distillates, such as fruit (juice) concentrates, malt wine, eau-de-vie, cognac, kirsch, etc. to create the final product. Sugar syrup is always added to the liqueurs. The mixture is then left to rest for a while to allow the taste to mature.
 

ADVOCAAT
For the production of the Dutch egg liqueur called Advocaat, each year some forty million eggs are processed. The yolks are separated from the egg whites and mixed with grape brandy, sugar and vanilla. The liqueur is either stored in lager tanks or immediately bottled.
 

CREAM
For creams and cream liqueurs like pina colada, fresh cream is mixed with alcohol, sugar and essences. After processing, the products are left to rest and then bottled.
 

GUARANTEED QUALITY
All De Kuyper products are subjected to continuous quality checks. This applies to all incoming raw materials, extracts and distillates as well as the finished products.
