For a biscuit tin that’s regularly shared, a 600 g pack is a sensible place to start: check how many biscuits or portions it contains and how to store them after opening. A smaller pack is a better fit if you’re specifically looking for Lotus Biscoff or don’t need as much in stock. If someone needs to avoid gluten, only choose a product that is explicitly labelled gluten-free on its current packaging.
If you often serve speculaas with coffee or tea, or when you have visitors, you could start with the 600 g packs listed by Albert Heijn, Jumbo and ALDI. Also check the number of biscuits or portions, and whether you can store the biscuits in a sealed container after opening.
If you’re specifically after Lotus Biscoff speculoos, a smaller branded pack may be enough. Albert Heijn lists a 375 g pack and Jumbo a 250 g pack; both contain less than the 600 g packs of baker’s speculaas mentioned here.
A standard pack of baker’s speculaas isn’t necessarily suitable. Jumbo lists gluten and wheat in its Bakkers Speculaas; Albert Heijn also has a separate 125 g speculaas variety labelled gluten-free. Always check the label on the pack you choose.
First, decide whether the amount, a particular biscuit to enjoy with coffee or tea, or the ingredients will determine your choice. Then compare the net weight, the number of biscuits or portions, and the information on the packaging.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| How much to stock up on | Compare the net weight and, where stated, the number of biscuits or portions. Check how to store the pack after opening. | If the biscuit tin needs filling often, I want to have enough biscuits at home without leaving an opened pack unused. Having enough in stock is the top priority for around 45% of consumers. |
| Flavour and when you’ll serve them | Check whether you’re choosing baker’s speculaas or specifically Lotus Biscoff speculoos, and which pack size suits the way you’ll use them. | With coffee or tea, I want the biscuit I enjoy serving, even if the pack is smaller. This flavour or brand preference is the main consideration for around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current label, including allergen information and warnings such as ‘may contain’. If you need a gluten-free product, check that exact product is labelled accordingly. | If someone in the household needs to avoid gluten or another allergen, I don’t want to rely on the product category alone. Checking ingredients and allergens is the top priority for around 22% of consumers. |
A 600 g pack is most practical when the biscuits are eaten regularly and can be stored properly after opening. For its Bakkers speculaas, Albert Heijn recommends storing the biscuits in a sealed tin after opening.
Read the storage instructions on the pack and seal the biscuits again after use.
Jumbo Bakkers Speculaas lists gluten and wheat, and Jumbo says it may contain almonds and nuts. Other varieties of speculaas won’t necessarily have the same ingredients or allergens.
If you have a dietary restriction, check the ingredients, allergens and any ‘may contain’ warning on the packaging you’re actually choosing.
The 250 g Lotus Biscoff pack and the 375 g pack listed by Albert Heijn aren’t the same size; neither is identical to a 600 g pack of baker’s speculaas.

Compare the net weight and, where stated, the number of biscuits or portions; then check whether you can store the opened pack according to its instructions. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 600 g packs of baker’s speculaas with around 48 portions each, while ALDI lists 48 biscuits for its 600 g pack. A number of portions and a number of biscuits aren’t necessarily the same measure.
Follow the instructions on the pack you choose. Albert Heijn recommends storing its Bakkers speculaas in a sealed tin after opening; for other products, check their own storage instructions.
Don’t assume it is: Jumbo lists gluten and wheat in its Bakkers Speculaas. If you need to avoid gluten, look for a product explicitly labelled gluten-free on its current packaging, such as the separate AH Glutenvrij Speculaas, and read the rest of the allergen information too.
Yes, check the label on the pack you’re buying. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre (Voedingscentrum) points out that common allergens must be clearly listed on the label; Albert Heijn says that ingredient and allergy information can change when products are updated.
