Regional product

That the people of Ghent are entrepreneurial is evident from the long list of local products being made and/or sold in and around the city. From world famous spicy mustard to deliciously sweet cone-shaped confectionary: Ghent’s production machine is in full swing. Some names have been around for decades, others are still at an early stage.
