Who is each size right for?

For a small coffee break

If you’re looking for small spritz biscuits to enjoy with coffee or tea, look for an explicit mini label. Jumbo uses one for Sprits Staafjes Mini.

For fans of classic spritz biscuits

If a familiar branded spritz biscuit matters more to you than its size, you could consider Verkade Nobo Sprits. Verkade describes Nobo Sprits Original as crisp.

For comparing butter and pack details

If you want to factor butter into your choice, also compare the contents, number of biscuits and information on the pack. Jumbo lists butter in its mini spritz biscuits; ALDI does the same for Biscotto Roomboterspritsen.

What should you look for when choosing?

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Mini size Check that ‘mini’ appears on the variant you’ve chosen, and look at the pack for the portion size. If I want to serve small biscuits with coffee, I need to know the size before I choose. Around 50% of consumers would say confirmed mini sizing is their top priority.
Classic spritz biscuits Check the exact product range and variant; Verkade describes Nobo Sprits Original as a crisp biscuit. For a familiar spritz biscuit with coffee, I’d rather consider the size than let my preference for the product itself decide. Around 30% of consumers would put that classic brand preference first.
Butter and pack details Compare the ingredients, net weight, stated number of biscuits and allergen information for the variant you’ve chosen. When I buy spritz biscuits for a coffee break, I want to know what’s in the pack and how many biscuits I’ll get. For around 20% of consumers, that product and packaging information would be the main consideration.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming butter spritz biscuits are automatically mini-sized

    Jumbo includes ‘Mini’ in the name Sprits Staafjes Mini. The products from Verkade and Biscotto mentioned here aren’t labelled as mini spritz biscuits.

    If a small size is essential, check the name and packaging of the exact variant you’re buying.

  • Assuming a mini biscuit is a set portion

    Jumbo Sprits Staafjes Mini has a net weight of 125 g. That tells you how much is in the pack, but not how many biscuits you’ll have at a time or the nutritional value of each one.

    If you want to compare quantities, check the current pack for the number of biscuits, portion size and nutritional information.

  • Only checking the online product name if you have an allergy

    A product name doesn’t give you the full allergen information. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains what allergen information must appear on the labels of prepacked foods.

    If you have an allergy, check the label on the specific pack before eating the biscuits.

  • Overlooking the storage advice

    Jumbo advises storing Jumbo Sprits Staafjes Mini in a cool, dry and dark place.

    Follow the storage advice on the pack of the variant you choose.

Brands to consider

Verkade

An option if you’re looking for a classic branded spritz biscuit and mini size isn’t essential.

  • Verkade sells Nobo Sprits Original and describes the biscuit as crisp.
  • Check the size of the Nobo variant you choose if you’re specifically looking for small biscuits.

Jumbo

An option if a mini label is your priority for a coffee break.

  • Jumbo Sprits Staafjes Mini has a stated net weight of 125 g; Jumbo describes them as spritz biscuits made with butter.
  • Don’t use the net weight as a measure of one biscuit or one portion; check the pack for that information.

Biscotto

An ALDI own-brand option if butter and a stated biscuit count matter more than a mini label.

  • ALDI states that Biscotto Roomboterspritsen contains 12 biscuits and has a net weight of 175 g.
  • Check the size of each biscuit separately if you’re looking for small spritz biscuits; this product isn’t labelled as mini.

Frequently asked questions

Does a mini spritz biscuit make it easier to work out a portion?

The smaller size may help you decide how many biscuits to take, but ‘mini’ doesn’t define a portion or nutritional value. Check the pack for the portion size and nutritional information if you want to assess how much you’re having at one sitting.

What information should I check if I have an allergy?

Read the allergen information on the label of the specific pack. Albert Heijn advises consumers to read the packaging, so don’t rely solely on an online product description.
