If you’d like one kano biscuit with your coffee around Mother’s Day, check both the portion size and the number of biscuits in the pack: Albert Heijn lists six 45 g portions, while Jumbo lists five 55 g portions. Both are multipacks, not biscuits sold individually. Then choose your preferred filling and check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging.
Check the portion size and how many biscuits will be left in the pack afterwards. Albert Heijn lists its butter kano biscuits as 45 g per portion, while Jumbo lists its version as 55 g per portion.
If the filling is your main consideration, compare the product descriptions. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list different proportions of almond paste or almond paste filling in the versions covered here.
If you have a food allergy or intolerance, checking the ingredients and possible traces should come before choosing a portion size or filling. Check the label on the pack you buy.
First, decide what matters most for your coffee break: the size of one biscuit, the filling or any ingredients you need to avoid. A stated portion size doesn’t mean the biscuit is sold individually.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Compare the grams per portion and the number of portions in each pack. Albert Heijn lists 45 g and six portions; Jumbo lists 55 g and five portions. | If I’m having one with my coffee, I want to know how big a single biscuit is, rather than treating the whole pack as one portion. Around 42% of consumers put portion size first. |
| Filling | Read the product description and compare the filling listed. PLUS states that Aviateur Kano biscuits contain 46% almond paste filling; other versions have a different recipe. | If the filling determines my choice, I want to know what kind of almond paste or other filling I’m buying. Filling is the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Allergens | Check the ingredients and any warnings about possible traces on the current packaging, especially for wheat, milk, soya, egg and nuts. | If I have a food allergy or intolerance, I need to assess whether the ingredients are suitable for me first. For around 25% of consumers, checking allergens is the top priority. |
A pack can clearly state a portion size and still contain several kano biscuits. Albert Heijn lists six portions per pack and Jumbo lists five.
If you only want one biscuit with your coffee, check both the number of portions and the weight per portion.

Check the ingredients for the version you choose, including wheat, milk, soya, egg and almonds or other nuts, as well as any warnings about possible traces. Ingredients vary between products.

Follow the storage instructions and use-by or best-before date on your pack. For the versions covered here, Albert Heijn and Jumbo recommend storing the biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place; Albert Heijn also recommends keeping them in a sealed tin once opened.
