Our very own bakery
Workshop & Team IJLB
We are a Belgian artisanal bakery that specialises in making granola. That's what we really want to excel at. Developing our own production is a conscious choice. We like to be an open and transparent company where you know how and by whom your bag of granola is made.
Our biggest fans? It’s a mixed bag: young and old who occasionally make their own granola. They’ve taste tested and know that we don’t approach it any differently than you would at home.
- Tasty
- Artisanal
- 100% natural
- Organic & vegan
Here's where the magic happens!
At our bakery, where it's nice and busy every day.
The ingredients are weighed and mixed according to our recipes, the baking trays are filled and the oven is on around the clock.
But when it comes to baking, we resolutely go for 'low and slow'. We opt for a long baking process at a low temperature. This is how each ingredient retains its unique natural taste. Our discerning bakers never take their eyes off the oven, so that the freshly baked granola always comes out at the perfect time.
Once everything has cooled down, the granola is carefully packaged and prepared for our distributors, stores and customers. Our carriers and the postal service ensure that your parcels of breakfast happiness come your way as quickly as possible.
Enjoy!
Natalie
Founder
As an architect, she missed working with her hands and so she took the plunge and started this work six years ago.
Sare
Production manager
Sare is the ‘chef d'atelier’ as her colleagues call her in French. A historian with a passion for food and a crazy love for sourdough bread.
Bart
Production and R&D
Bart is a cook who, after fifteen years in the transport sector, returned to the kitchen to bake granola.
Elias
Production
Elias hails from Syria, but we are thrilled he came to Belgium: he is one of IJLB’s top bakers.
Clinton
Production
Clinton bakes granola by day and takes the stage by night as rapper 2KBeats. His beats can be regularly heard echoing through the bakery.
Steffi
Order packer and online store
Steffi ensures that every order is packed with love. When she’s not expertly managing IJLB’s orders, she can be found on the yoga mat.
Talita
Office manager
Talita is a dietician and the driving force behind the ‘Theater aan Twater’ festival. She makes sure everything runs smoothly at the IJLB office and is the mainstay of Natalie and Sare.
Wendy
Customer care
Wendy spends half her time in the countryside. If she's not looking after IJLB's customers, she’s looking after her plants through her little company ‘Tuinkruid’.
