Description
Antwerpen à la Carte is a renowned brand that has been around for over 80 years, known especially for its delicious Antwerp hands. These original cookies have a unique history, dating back to 1935 when they were created by the Antwerp Bakers' Association. The brand later introduced various forms of chocolate-filled hands.
Interestingly, the Antwerp hands have Dutch roots. The concept was born out of a competition held by the bakers' association, aiming to showcase something distinctive and typically Antwerp at the World Exhibition in Brussels. The winner of the competition was Jos Hakker, a Jewish baker from Amsterdam.
During World War II, he was captured during a raid and taken away, but fortunately managed to escape and join the resistance. After the war, he resumed his bakery in Provinciestraat. The production and sale of the Antwerp hands are still strictly regulated by the Antwerp Bakers' Union.
