from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Life

Julius Destrooper was the son of Adolphus Norbertus (1823–1873) and Amelia Maria Destrooper, née Verlende (1815–1900).

As a young baker, he opened a bakery in Luilekkerstad on August 8, 1885in Flanders. He also had a grocery store selling exotic products from Africa and Asia such as coffee, tea, tobacco and chocolate. He started using the exotic herbs from his shop in Amandelbrood, a type of almond biscuit that he gave to his customers as a business gift. Driven by his first success, Jules Destrooper added a second biscuit to his range in 1890: a Flemish butter waffle that was traditionally baked around the New Year, the “Natuurboterwafel” (“natural butter waffle”; meaning butter waffle biscuits). The success of these biscuits was so great that it soon found international recognition: in 1911 Jules Destrooper won a gold medal for his Amandelbrood at the prestigious Paris fair. Jules Destrooper managed to name his company Biscuiterie Jules DestrooperBelgian purveyor to place.

His marriage to Felicia Maria Verweirder (1863–1928) resulted in two daughters and son Julius Josephus Cornelius Destrooper (1893–1973; known as Jules Destrooper junior ), who in 1911 took over the father's business.
