The Verpoorten Company was founded in 1876 on the German-Dutch border. Due to its fine quality, Verpoorten is most popular advocaat in the world. Up to 1.3 million fresh Class A eggs are used daily in production. Originally, advocaat was an avocado liquor made by Dutch traders in South America. When they got home, avocados were unavailable but eggs made a similarly textured beverage. When enjoyed cold, its rich, creamy, custard like flavor is unparalleled. Verpoorten makes a great addition to any thick milk based cocktail. Try it with a milk shake, coffee, or with lemonade. It is also a versatile culinary item that can be used in preparing soups, cakes, steak, fish, and many other dishes.
