OF ZEELAND ORIGIN

Typically Zeeland. What does that truly signify? It embodies a facet of Zeeland's culture and reflects how the people of Zeeland have evolved throughout the centuries. The distinctive Zeeland landscape and the enduring battle with water have instilled a sense of pride in the inhabitants for their land, along with their unique Zeeland customs and products.

Nothing embodies Zeeland quite like the Zeeland mussel. These delectable mussels are enjoyed globally, yet they hold a special place with our southern neighbors. The favored method of preparation is the Philippine style, and what better place to experience it than in the heart of the town itself!

Zeeland mussels & oysters

The stunning, level landscape of Zeeland, safeguarded by its numerous dikes, dams, and dunes, is truly one-of-a-kind in both the Netherlands and beyond. Among its most renowned regions are the Drowned Land of Saeftinghe, Oranjezon, and Yerseke Moer.

The Zeeland landscape

Zeeland's confections are as delightful as its stunning landscapes! Consider the Zeeuwse babbelaar and the Zeeuwse bolus, both iconic treats from the southern region. The babbelaar enjoys immense popularity among visitors, thanks in part to its distinctive packaging. The bolus pairs beautifully with a steaming cup of coffee or tea. There are even contests held to determine who bakes the finest bolus in Zeeland. Are you ready to come and taste it?
