The Flavor Sensations of Koppert Cress

The cresses from Koppert Cress have become a staple in the kitchens of the Dutch hospitality industry. These are true flavor bombs that can bring surprising elements to any dish. When Rob Baan joined Koppert Cress in 2002, he knew exactly what needed to be done. “Marketing became the driving force — the assortment is now entirely determined by the needs of the end users,” Baan explains. Over the years, this company from the Westland region has developed a wide range of cresses, offering something for everyone in terms of flavor and creativity.

The young plants have just sprouted and are therefore highly concentrated in flavor. “Seedlings of unique plants, each with their own surprising effect on the senses,” Baan explains. A wide variety of flavors is available, allowing dishes to be garnished with the perfect taste and appearance.

Baan’s mission is to make the Netherlands the healthiest delta in the world — a leader in plant-based food production capable of providing the world with healthy, nutritious, and sustainable food. With their 100 percent natural cresses, they aim to be an innovative player that leads the way in the market.
