It all started in 1903, when the fruit trader Jean Canisius from Schinnen, The Netherlands got the idea to produce fruit spreads on a large scale. For over 116 years, his name equals absolute quality and tradition in fruit spreads.
The consumer’s choice – For over 116 years
Spreads should be delicious and Canisius knows like no other how to produce the most sumptuous spreads. 7 kilos of locally grown apples are processed to create 1 kilo of traditional apple spread. Canisius spreads don’t contain any additives for color, flavor or preservatives and no added crystalline sugar. The spreads are allergen-free. Canisius spreads are becoming more and more popular because of the high nutritional value of the spreads. Furthermore, Canisius spreads are not only delicious on bread, toast or pancakes, but are also great cooking or baking ingredients to add more flavor to meals or meat marinades.

More than 116 years of pure quality
Quality is synonymous to Canisius. Original traditional recipes have been recreated and refined for high-quality and advanced industrial production processes.
