If you’re taking your own snack to a Dutch football watch party, an almond multipack is a sensible option: Albert Heijn lists unsalted, unroasted and salted smoked-flavour varieties in 4-packs. Be sure to check the weight and whether the individual packs are sealed. If you’d rather measure out portions yourself or share with others, choose a larger bag based on your preferred flavour and check whether it’s resealable. A larger bag isn’t automatically a single portion.
For anyone heading to a Dutch football watch party who’d rather bring their own pack than help themselves from a communal bag. Albert Heijn lists several almond varieties as 4-packs; check how much each individual pack contains.
For anyone looking for almonds with no added salt and who may want to portion them out themselves. Unsalted and unroasted are different characteristics: ALDI, for example, also lists roasted unsalted almonds.
For anyone who wants to share a savoury snack during the football without needing every portion to be individually wrapped. Duyvis describes Almonds Original as a savoury oven-roasted variety in a 125 g pack; ALDI lists salted and smoked-flavour varieties in 200 g packs.
First decide whether you need individual packs or would rather portion out an amount yourself. Then choose your preferred flavour and check the details on the exact pack.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Taking your own portion | Number of individual packs, net weight per pack and whether each one is sealed separately. | If I want to take my own snack to the watch party, I need to know whether I can grab a pack straight away or have to portion it out first. Around 36% of consumers prioritise convenience when taking snacks with them. |
| Choosing unsalted | The exact variety name, ingredients and nutrition information; also check whether the almonds are unroasted or roasted. | When I’m looking for an unsalted variety, I check this separately from how the almonds are prepared. Around 29% of consumers prioritise an unsalted option. |
| Savoury flavour | Whether the variety is salted, smoked-flavour or otherwise savoury, as well as the ingredients and pack weight. | When watching together, I want a savoury almond snack that suits the group, without mistaking a preparation claim for nutritional information. Around 21% of consumers prioritise savoury flavour. |
| Portioning it yourself | Net weight of the same variety, the amount you want and whether the pack is resealable. Compare prices per kilogram if cost is a factor. | If I’m making portions for myself or a group, I want the quantity and packaging to suit each other and may also compare prices on the same weight basis. Around 14% of consumers prioritise portioning snacks themselves and comparing costs. |
The 125 g packs from Duyvis, 150 g packs from PLUS and 200 g packs from ALDI contain those amounts of almonds, but that doesn’t mean the whole bag is intended as a snack for one person.
Choose a multipack if you want individual packs, or portion out the amount you want to take with you in advance. With a multipack, also check the net weight of each individual pack.

If the pack isn’t resealable, a sealable container of your own can be useful for any leftovers.
