History of
wafer paper

The history of wafer paper can be traced back several centuries. Its origins are not entirely clear but we know that during the Renaissance, wafer paper was served as a dessert. It was a luxury foodstuff that only the aristocracy and upper middle class could afford. The potato is the no. 1 staple crop in the Netherlands as illustrated by Vincent van Gogh in his famous painting “the potato eaters”.
