Who is this choice relevant to?

If you want just one kano biscuit

If you’re having a coffee on your own, what matters most is whether the number of biscuits in a pack suits how many you want to eat later. Check separately whether the packaging mentions individual wrappers.

If you want to compare butter and almond paste

Check the description of the exact variety. Albert Heijn lists confectioner’s almond paste in its AH butter kano biscuits; PLUS lists almond paste filling in both its own butter kano biscuits and Aviateur Kano's.

If you need to check for allergens

Ingredients vary between varieties. Before buying, read the current label if ingredients such as wheat, milk, soya, egg or almond are relevant to you.

What should you look for in kano biscuits for Easter?

Start with how many biscuits you want, then check the label and the listed ingredients for the variety you’re considering.

What to consider What to check Who should bear this in mind?
Pack size and storage Check the number of pieces or portions, whether they’re individually wrapped, and the storage instructions after opening. If you only want one kano biscuit, you’ll want to know what to do with the rest of the pack. Around 40% of consumers put packaging and storage first for this reason.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current label on the pack you’ve chosen, including any warnings about the possible presence of allergens. If you need to take allergens into account, the information on the pack needs to suit your situation. For around 30% of consumers, checking this is the top priority.
Butter and almond paste filling Check whether butter is listed and what percentage of filling is stated for the exact variety. You may be looking for a kano biscuit that clearly lists butter, or want to compare the amount of almond paste. These ingredients are the main consideration for around 30% of consumers.

Common buying mistakes

  • Assuming each kano biscuit is individually wrapped

    The number of pieces or portions on a product page doesn’t tell you whether they’re individually wrapped. That matters if you want to take just one biscuit with you.

    Check the packaging description and choose a pack whose remaining biscuits you can store according to the instructions.

  • Treating all kano biscuits as the same when checking for allergens

    Listed ingredients and warnings vary between varieties, so the product name alone isn’t enough to make your choice.

    Read the current label on the exact pack, even if you’ve bought the same type of kano biscuit before.

Brands and product ranges to consider

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn’s product page lists AH butter kano biscuits as a 270 g pack containing six portions.

  • The page lists confectioner’s almond paste and provides ingredient and allergen information.
  • Six portions doesn’t mean that the biscuits are sold individually or wrapped separately.

PLUS

PLUS lists its own 275 g butter kano biscuits and 230 g Aviateur Kano's.

  • PLUS lists 39% almond paste filling for its own variety and 46% for Aviateur.
  • Check the ingredients and allergens for each variety: the two product descriptions aren’t interchangeable.

Aviateur

PLUS lists Aviateur Kano's as a pack of five, weighing 230 g, with 46% almond paste filling.

  • The product page gives the ingredients and allergen information for this variety.
  • According to the page, the variety contains wheat, soya, milk and almond, among other ingredients, and may contain egg. A pack of five doesn’t confirm that the biscuits are individually wrapped.

Sondey

Lidl Netherlands describes Sondey Kano's as butter biscuits with almond paste in a 325 g pack.

  • The description makes the product type and pack weight clear.
  • Check the label in store if the ingredients, allergens or individual packaging will affect your choice.

Heerlijck Banket

ALDI Netherlands lists Heerlijck Banket Kano's in a 330 g pack.

  • The stated pack weight helps you decide whether the quantity suits your plans.
  • Read the label before buying if ingredients or allergens are important to you.
