@hrhgeorgiana: This is Amsterdam’s last pickle factory, which is run by a man known as the Pickle King! This is kesbeke, and its factory and shop is in the northwest of amsterdam. they sell every type of pickle imaginable - pickled tulips, twenty different pickled cucumenbrs, pickled ginger, the famous yellow pickled onions, pickled peppers, pickled beetroot, pickled pineapple, pickle hot sauces, kimchi, pickled tomatoes and celery, pickled artichoke, piccalilli - and pickle merch including pickle playing cards, mugs, hats and t shirts. And the prices are so reasonable too. Kesbeke is run by Oos Kesbeke, who is known as the pickle king and the company’s story started with his grandfather. In the early 1900s, the city of Amsterdam smelled of vinegar. Ams­ter­dam was home to over five hun­dred pick­le ven­dors and fifty pick­le busi­ness­es, many run by Jew­ish fam­i­lies. Gherkins and onions were sold from street carts on all corner. But many of Amsterdam’s Jewish pick­le mak­ers were mur­dered in the Holo­caust, and the pickle trade disappeared with them. In 1948, three years after liberation, Charles Kesbeke started pickling vegetables in a basement and today, almost 80 years later, the factory turns out thousands of jars a day, and is run by his grandson. Oos is known as the pickle king because he has his own reality show; there have been 4 seasons and the show follows Oos training his sons, who are known as the pickle princes, to take over the business. Save for your next trip to amsterdam! #kesbeke #amsterdam #pickle #pickles #picklelover
