About Deliscious

Deliscious: an innovative family company

The name Deliscious is derived from the family name Delissen. For almost 50 years, this family has been cultivating lettuce on the outskirts of the agricultural village of Beesel, in the Dutch province of Midden-Limburg. Furthermore, Deliscious is synonymous with tasty lettuce of the best possible quality.

Today, this family company is run by the twin brothers Roy and Mark Delissen, who attach great value to freshness, shelf-life, ease of use and sustainability. They strive to achieve these pillars of quality by constantly adjusting and improving the production process. This has lead to a number of innovative ideas, which have provided today's consumer with great benefits.

Production

Featuring as pioneer in horticulture, Deliscious has developed an improved approach to lettuce cultivation. The idea of growing lettuce in gutters at 1 meter above the ground, instead of in the ground, developed into an innovation within the lettuce industry.

And Deliscious continues to innovate. The latest development originates from the idea to also take on the propagation of the lettuce plants ourselves. To put this idea into practice, an ideal lighting formula has been developed in association with Philips. This enables Deliscious to manage the entire production process, from lettuce seedling to lettuce plant. This means that Deliscious can deliver lettuce with a consistently high quality all year round.
