Klaas van Kalken

The founder of Oliehoorn. More than 40 years ago, Klaas van Kalken laid the foundation for the traditional preparation of our sauces. Something we are very grateful to him for. What started with the sale of cooking oils and fats under the name ‘De Oliehoorn’, has grown into a successful family business 40 years later.

1999 - 2019

Wim Dijk

With the arrival of Wim Dijk, Oliehoorn has developed strongly in recent years. Through the horeca, Oliehoorn has grown significantly. The sector in which the Fritessaus, Curry, Mayonnaise, and Ketchup are extremely popular has been embraced by them. Wim has also managed to maintain the northern down-to-earthness within the company. Combined with quality and taste, this has ensured that Oliehoorn has become ‘world-famous’ among connoisseurs.
