1950’s – Nanaimo Bar - The first known recipe for Nanaimo bars was printed in the 1952 Women’s Auxiliary of the Nanaimo Hospital Cookbook, but under the name “chocolate square.” A year later, the recipe appeared in the Sun as the “London fog bar,” with “Nanaimo bar” listed as an alternate name. We might be biased, but we still prefer our sweet and buttery Old Dutch Caramel Corn! View Recipe

TRUST THE WINDMILL

My first job at Old Dutch, as a five-year-old dressed in a Dutch costume (handmade by my mother), was to pass out bags of our potato chips to cheering people at local festival parades. Many years later, I am honoured to lead our company, still owned by our family, into its 70th year of providing the highest quality snack foods to our Canadian customers. At Old Dutch we’re constantly reimagining snacks, from our invention of the Sour Cream and Onion potato chip in the late sixties, to the newest trends in flavours for kettle chips, tortillas, extruded corn and other Old Dutch snacks available at your favourite retail establishment.

We continually strive to offer the best version of all our snacks by rigorous application of best manufacturing practices and by use of the highest quality ingredients. Whether you prefer a traditional RIP-L potato chip or a spicy new snack, we have something you’ll love to share with friends and family. From my Old Dutch family to yours, we invite you to share our excitement in our 70th year and enjoy an Old Dutch product at your next snacking occasion.

1950’s - Poutine is Canadian and originated in the province of Quebec. However we still prefer our potatoes in chip form.

1960’s - Most would be confused to learn that the pizza with ham and pineapples was born in Canada. The now-famous “Hawaiian pizza” was born in the most unlikely of places. A restaurant owner in a small town in Ontario called Chatham came up with the combo back in that 1960’s. Now who will be the first to make chips on pizza a main stay in Canada!
