JB Diesch – Authentic Zeeland Tradition Since 1892 JB Diesch and the Zeeuwse babbelaar (butter toffee) have been inextricably linked for over 130 years. Since 1892, the family business has been making the famous Zeeuwse boterbabbelaar: a traditional delicacy in which sugar, butter, and craftsmanship come together. The history of JB Diesch goes back even further. In 1820, Cornelis Felix Diesch, originally from Switzerland, opened a confectionery shop in Middelburg. This laid the foundation for the company that would later become known for its Zeeuwse butter toffees. A Zeeuwse classic with a long history From 1892, the famous babbelaars were made and sold from the "In den Zoeten Inval" bakery in Middelburg. The recipe has been passed down for generations. In the 1920s, the first well-known JB Diesch tins appeared, featuring images of traditional Zeeuwse costumes. These tins grew into beloved souvenirs and collector's items. The babbelaar is also typically associated with the Zeeuwse coffee table. In the past, the candy was served with coffee or tea, after which people would continue to chat extensively. The name babbelaar is therefore derived from "babbelen," which means to chat in a cozy and continuous manner. Craftsmanship and a secret recipe The traditional JB Diesch babbelaar is made with ingredients including sugar, glucose syrup, butter, and salt. The exact recipe remains a well-kept secret. The characteristic caramel flavor develops while the ingredients are being boiled, after which the warm mass is pulled and shaped into the recognizable babbelaars. The production process also has a special history. JB Diesch used machines that were purchased second-hand as early as 1924 and originally dated back to around 1800. These machines were used for a long time in the artisanal production of the babbelaars. From Zeeuwse candy to a modern brand Although the butter toffee remains the foundation of JB Diesch, the brand has evolved over the years. New products, special packaging, and innovative Zeeuwse delicacies have been added. For example, JB Diesch introduced chocolate with pieces of real babbelaar, Zeeuwse Hearts, and organic Zeeuwse syrups from Searoop. They have also collaborated with other local makers to develop new products, including Babbelaar Stout beer. This combination of Zeeuwse tradition and innovation is characteristic of JB Diesch: well-known flavors and stories from Zeeland are used as a basis for new products that fit today's world. Zeeland in a tin An important part of the JB Diesch aesthetic is its characteristic tins. The babbelaars have been sold in special packaging since the 1920s. Images of traditional Zeeuwse costumes, monuments, and other recognizable elements from the Netherlands and Zeeland make the tins more than just packaging. As a result, JB Diesch babbelaars are not only a delicious treat, but also a typical Zeeuwse gift and souvenir.
