From village secret to culinary heritage concept
A true flandrien gives everything until he crosses the line, purely by character and with full gusto. Just like us. Flan de Gand ® repackages the traditional making and taste experience of Ghent flan into a contemporary dessert story for DIY bakers, restaurateurs, hoteliers and professional pastry chefs. We find our passion and energy in the handed down family memoirs of our ancestors, connection with the city of our birth and indomitable sense of culinary enterprise. And this credo can be taken literally. The recipe finds its origin in an orally transmitted recipe for flan that our grandmother, during the village fairs in the roaring twenties of last century, already traditionally prepared for the entire family and loving neighborhood tasters. Meanwhile, for several years now, flan has enjoyed well-deserved recognition as an authentic regional product from Ghent. But this story continues.
The pride of two centuries of quality baking
Our kindred ancestors started a pre-Belgian baking story in the year 1825 with the small-industrial production of artisanal baking recipes, built according to specific production processes and authentic preparation techniques. Today, the sixth generation of descendants is continuing to honor this family tradition with respect for the past and full enthusiasm for the future. With Flan de Gand ® we bring two rich family histories together and, as a producer of flan mixes from Ghent, we look forward to the bicentenary of our baking roots with double pride.
