Spritz Biscuits for a Sweet Breakfast: Which Pack Suits You?

Which pack is right for you?

For anyone hosting brunch for a group

If spritz biscuits are going on a sharing table, start by comparing the net weight. Lidl Netherlands lists a 400 g pack, while ALDI Netherlands gives a weight range of 300–400 g for a Biscotto variety.

For smaller households who like a change

A smaller pack of each flavour may be a better fit if you want to serve plain, butter and chocolate varieties side by side. Jumbo lists Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel at 150 g; Albert Heijn and PLUS also offer varieties weighing 175–200 g.

For anyone who needs to check ingredients carefully

If you have a food allergy or make specific choices based on nutritional information, the exact variety matters. Product information from Jumbo, Albert Heijn and PLUS shows that allergen details and ingredients vary between spritz biscuit products.

What should you look for when choosing?

Decide how many spritz biscuits you want to put on the table, then choose a flavour and read the label of your chosen variety before buying.

What to consider	What to check when buying	Who it matters to
Enough in the pack	Compare the net weight in grams with the number of people eating and what else is on the table. ALDI Netherlands gives a range of 300–400 g, rather than a fixed pack weight.	When I’m having breakfast with a group, I want to put out enough spritz biscuits without having to open a second pack straight away. For around 45% of consumers, having enough in the pack is the main consideration.
Flavour and quantity per pack	Compare the variety and pack weight; Albert Heijn lists AH Spritsen at 200 g and 10 biscuits.	When I’m serving different flavours, I don’t want to open a large pack of each one. A choice of flavours and a manageable quantity are the priority for around 33% of consumers.
Ingredients and breakfast choices	Read the allergen information on the exact pack and, if you wish, compare the nutritional information per 100 g or per serving.	I want to know which ingredients I’m putting on the table and whether spritz biscuits fit with the rest of breakfast. For around 22% of consumers, this is their most important consideration.

Common mistakes

Calling a pack large without checking its weight

The packs listed range from 150 g at Jumbo to 400 g at Lidl Netherlands. A pack’s appearance doesn’t tell you how many biscuits you’re buying for the table.

Compare the net weight, and consider several smaller packs if you’d also like to offer a choice of flavours.
Relying on the flavour name to check allergens

Allergen information varies by product. For Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel, Jumbo lists milk and wheat and also warns that the product may contain nuts and sesame.

Read the ingredients and allergen information on the specific pack, even if you know another flavour from the same brand.
Thinking of spritz biscuits as a complete breakfast

Spritz biscuits are biscuits. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists wholegrain products, fruit and yoghurt among the components of a breakfast.

Serve spritz biscuits as a sweet addition, and decide separately what else you’ll offer for breakfast.
Assuming a pack shown online can be delivered to your home

Lidl Netherlands lists its 400 g butter spritz biscuits as an in-store-only product.

Before setting off, check whether the variety you want is available at your local branch.

Biscotto / ALDI

Frequently asked questions

Which pack of spritz biscuits should I choose for breakfast with a group?

First, compare the net weight with the number of people eating and the rest of breakfast. Lidl Netherlands lists a 400 g pack, while ALDI Netherlands lists a 300–400 g variety; a smaller pack may be a better fit if you want to offer several flavours.

Can spritz biscuits make up the whole of breakfast?

It’s best to serve spritz biscuits as a sweet addition rather than the only part of breakfast. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre includes wholegrain products, fruit and yoghurt among the components of a breakfast.

Should I check the allergens again for each spritz biscuit variety?

Yes, check the allergen information on the exact pack. Product information from Jumbo and PLUS shows that ingredients and warnings about possible traces can vary between varieties.

How should I store spritz biscuits after opening?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve chosen. Product information from Verkade and Albert Heijn says to store the biscuits in a dry place and reseal the pack securely after opening.
