Freshness is in our nature
In nature, everything has its own pace. It takes time for crops to grow beautifully and absorb the healthy nutrients. Once the crops are ripe and harvested by the farmers, Van Gelder swings into action. We maintain close contact with farmers, both locally and internationally, to ensure that what you order today is on the plate tomorrow. We focus on the quality, ripeness, and availability of the crops. This way, you have access to both seasonal products and items that are available year-round. Thanks to our close collaboration with farmers and over 70 years of experience, we have achieved the highest turnover speed in the Netherlands, so you can work with the freshest products. We can’t do it any other way. Freshness is in our nature.
The highest turnover speed in the market
Truly fresh products delivered straight to your kitchen—that's our top priority. To make this happen, 92 tireless shuttles and robots work around the clock in our automated warehouse to process your order with precision. Thanks to these efficient warehouse processes, we can process your order at lightning speed. Our drivers deliver straight to the kitchen throughout the Netherlands, so you can focus on what really matters: preparing delicious, fresh dishes.
