Who is this for?

Hosts filling the biscuit tin

If you’re expecting lots of guests, compare the amount in each pack and the number of biscuits, where stated. This will help you decide how many packs to put out.

Hosts catering for guests with allergies

If you’re serving spritz biscuits to guests with different food allergies, read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack you’ve bought before serving.

Hosts looking for a different flavour

If you’d like to offer a chocolate or decorated variety alongside plain spritz biscuits, treat it as a separate product: the ingredients and allergens may differ.

What should you look for?

First, work out how many biscuits you want to serve. Then choose a variety to suit your guests and check the packaging before putting the spritz biscuits on the table.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Quantity Compare the net weight and, where stated, the number of biscuits with your guest list. Albert Heijn lists AH Spritsen as 200 g and 10 biscuits; ALDI gives a weight range of 300–400 g for Biscotto. When I’m expecting lots of guests, I want to put out enough spritz biscuits without running short during the party. Around 46% of consumers put having enough in stock first.
Allergens Check the exact packaging for both the ingredients in the product and any allergen warnings. According to product information from Albert Heijn and PLUS, these warnings vary by variety. If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know which spritz biscuits I can serve. Allergen information is the main concern for around 36% of consumers.
Flavour and presentation Choose between plain, butter, chocolate or decorated varieties, then check the ingredients for that variety. I want to put biscuits on the table that suit the flavour and look I’m after. For around 18% of consumers, flavour and presentation matter most.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming all family packs are the same size

    The label doesn’t tell you how many biscuits will fit in your tin. Product listings from Albert Heijn, ALDI and Lidl show a range of weights.

    Check the net weight and any stated biscuit count, then use these to work out how many packs to buy for your guests.

  • Treating varieties as interchangeable

    Plain, butter and chocolate varieties may contain different ingredients and allergens. Product information from Albert Heijn and PLUS lists ingredients such as wheat, milk, egg or soya for each variety, along with possible traces of other allergens in some cases.

    Check the label on the pack you’re actually serving for every variety you choose.

  • Opening all the packs at once

    Follow the storage instructions for any pack you’ve opened. Jumbo advises keeping Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel in a sealed container after opening.

    Only open what you plan to serve, and reseal any opened packaging according to the label.
