Vla (pronunciationⓘ) is aDutchdairy product made from freshmilk.
The wordvla was first documented in the 13th century and originally referred to anycustard-like substance coveringcakes or other baked goods. The wordvlaai is related and has since come to refer to a type of pie.[1]
Traditionallyvla is made witheggs,sugar and fresh milk, although some industrial producers usecornstarch rather than eggs today.Vla is available in many differentflavors, of whichvanilla is most popular. Other flavors include chocolate, caramel, banana, and coffee-caramel ('hopjes').[2]
Vla was originally sold in glass bottles and the consistency made extracting the complete amount difficult, so a specialbottle scraper (flessenschraper orflessenlikker) was specifically designed. Despite the fact thatvla is now normally sold in cartons, these scrapers are still common in Dutch family kitchens.
Althoughvla is originally a typical Dutch product, it was introduced toWallonia andGermany by Campina in 2010 and has been sold in some stores there since then.
