Kookwinkel Oldenhof is a family-owned Dutch retailer focused on cooking tools and techniques, with origins tracing back to 1821. The business began with the production of large cast-iron stoves in Zwolle and gradually broadened to kitchenware and culinary methods, including a 1930 booklet on juices and canning developed with a domestic school. In the 1960s, Freek and Riet expanded the company's role as culinary specialists, importing pasta and espresso machines from Italy and developing proprietary tools such as pâté molds with a spring mechanism and a wok with a flat bottom.

In the late 20th century the company expanded beyond Zwolle, opening cooking shops in Amersfoort and Hilversum, the latter home to a cooking school where participants practice culinary skills. Based in Hilversum, North Holland, the business operates in the retail sector and maintains a hands-on approach focused on service and direct customer contact. As a mid-sized family business, it serves home cooks and culinary enthusiasts seeking quality tools and techniques for everyday cooking.
