No, unfortunately! But feel free to send an open application to menu@fruitslagers.nl.

Orders are shipped twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday, ordered before noon – this may vary around holidays), so you can generally expect delivery within three business days*. Of course, we have no control over the hard-working PostNL delivery staff, so there are always exceptions.

*Due to high volume at PostNL, packages may be delayed.

Yes this is certainly possible, gladly even! Our store at the Food Station is open Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Address: ParallelwegWest 35, Culemborg. Large order? Please mail fruitslagers@rozebunker.nl Then we will put it ready.

Roze Bunker is shipped in cardboard boxes with intermediate compartments for protection during transport. We have boxes of 6/12 or 18 bottles.

Roze Bunker was born out of irritation towards the big bad soda industry. When Emile, Mélanie and Kester found out how polluting it is, they came up with Soft Drinks as a solution. Why displace unnecessary water and not just use good ingredients with a mission?

Once upon a time, when there was no syrup but beers brewing in his mother's bathroom, Emile's neighbor girl walked in. "What's your brand of beer actually called?", she asked. After some muttering from him, she exclaimed, "but we're in a Roze Bunker anyway!" From then on, the name became synonymous with a world where everyone is welcome and we work together for a better world.

Roze Bunker syrup is made as a base for Soft Drinks. Add 7 parts tap water and you get a crate of soda from one bottle. We are one of the few soft drink brands among the ingredients every day: from farm to glass.

Since October 2020, we have a fantastically beautiful site in Culemborg. In our mini-farm we experiment with taste and ingredients. Would you like to drop by sometime? Contact us via email: fruitslagers@rozebunker.nl

Yes and we are very proud of that! Starting with a few discarded lemons from the greengrocer, we are now processing large quantities of discarded fruit and working towards a more logical food system. No one can get to that mission! :)

One bottle of Roze Bunker is one crate of soda. As a result, you move less water and packaging. Because we pack less, we are cheaper per consumption than Coca Cola. Each flavor has its own mission divided into the following steps:

1. SHORT CHAIN:
   Whenever possible, we get our produce from close by. With a Food Station at the foot of the Betuwe, that's no problem!
2. CIRCULAR:
   'From head to tail' processing, this is how we work with other food producers to create a more logical system without waste.
3. BIODIVERSITY:
   Working with food forests and farmers, we plant flavorful crops that contribute to increased biodiversity. 

Ultimately, Fruitslagers are working toward new forms of agriculture, working with nature from the ground to the glass. A system where more biodiversity makes sense and the farmer can earn a normal living.

fruitslagers process Roze Bunker fruit from head to tail like real butchers.

With every sip of Roze Bunker, you solve a food industry problem, or a little bit of one. We are working hard to create a more logical and sustainable system by partnering with farmers and other food producers.

The bottles end up in the bottle bank, this process is for now more sustainable than collection and recycling. We still have to grow a lot for that if we want to make those logistics sustainable...the desire is strong! 

fruitslagers select only ingredients that solve problems or can provide knowledge for a better food system.

Madame Berries, Madame Gember and Smoked Lime, Bitter Blood and Kill Kola are made from leftover fruit. We process this fruit into juice. We incorporate the pulp that remains from this into our Preserved, Condiments and Azines products.

Last year we sowed our Wilde IJsthee herbs at farmers and food forests across the country. This year, we are again experimenting with which seeds take root best on our own soil.

Citrus Movement works with limoncellomakers. They use the peel and we process the residuals to juice. Furthermore, we work with each flavor toward a circular process in which we value all residual products.

Roze Bunker can be used as a flavor base for almost any drink. Soft drinks, cocktails, slush, water ices, mocktails ... Want to know more? On the website we have serving tips for each flavor. For a glass of soda, mix 1 part syrup with 7 parts (sparkling) water from the tap. 

Roze Bunker is the base for every cocktail! At least for a lot of cocktails. Check the website by flavor to see what serving suggestions there are.

We have: posters, glasses, serving systems, T-shirts, flyers, tickets, signs, postcards and soon more. If you would like to promote Roze Bunker in your café, please contact us: sales@rozebunker.nl

One bottle of Roze Bunker is one crate of soft drinks. We usually charge between 24 and 28 drinks per bottle.

From production, we give the bottles a shelf life of 2 years.

When you buy a bottle, you get a minimum shelf life of 4 months.

After open, the bottle will keep for 8 weeks if refrigerated. 

We are perhaps the only soft drink brand that manages its produce from ground to glass. We work with farmers for our ingredients, and we do some of the fruit processing ourselves and sometimes in partnership with other food producers. 

Syrup contains sugar; this sugar ensures shelf life and brings out the flavors in the syrup. We work with Dutch beet sugar, because it does not require cutting down virgin forests and is grown around the corner. There is only half to two-thirds sugar in Roze Bunker compared to common soft drinks.
We are always developing products with taste, sustainability or craft as a starting point. In our syrups, we use as much sugar as we deem necessary for preservation and flavor.

Yes, we use a little bit of citric acid to acidify our syrups. And you could also think of sugar as our preservative. But other than that, there are no artificial substances in them.

We choose not to certify because it limits our choice in the most sustainable ingredients. Organic is not always the most conscious if you have to have products come over from faraway places to do so. And although this crop is organic, for many farmers who plant Wilde IJsthee herbs with us, it is not realistic to go through a complicated certification process. We do not base our choices on a label, but on the most logical option.

We believe the best water comes from the tap, which is why we refuse to use so much packaging and transportation for ready-to-drink soft drinks.

For this, see also our answer regarding certifications: we always strive for the most conscious choice. Many of our ingredients are organic, but not exclusively, and therefore not certified.

From 5 liters of BIB you get 40 liters of soda. You make it in ratio 1:8 with Dutch tap water.

BIB does not need refrigeration, will keep for 3 months after opening, but dark (is in a box so is, but not in full sun or too hot)
