History:

The origin of “echte bakkersspeculaas,” or authentic bakers’ speculaas, can be traced back to the Netherlands and Belgium, where speculaas, a spiced cookie, has a long history.

Speculaas, in general, has its roots in the Netherlands and Belgium and was originally made with exotic spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, which were introduced during the 17th century through Dutch and Belgian trade routes. These spices were costly and rare, making speculaas a delicacy primarily enjoyed on special occasions.

It is challenging to pinpoint an exact date for the origin of authentic bakers’ speculaas because artisanal bakers have been making speculaas and other traditional cookies for centuries. However, it has evolved into a distinct variation of speculaas that emphasizes craftsmanship and quality. Bakkersspeculaas is often enjoyed around the time of Sinterklaas, a popular Dutch and Belgian holiday, and is available year-round at artisanal bakeries.
