A large pack of spritz biscuits is a good choice if you regularly make coffee for several people and can store the rest properly once opened. For a smaller coffee break or planning lunchboxes, a smaller pack or one with a stated number of biscuits gives you a clearer idea of what you’re getting. A biscuit count doesn’t tell you whether the biscuits are individually wrapped, so check the packaging. You should also check the latest ingredients and allergen information.
If you often make coffee for several people, a larger pack can be practical. Jumbo lists a pack of 40 x 38 g, while Lidl offers a 400 g pack. Before buying, think about whether you can keep the remainder dry and properly sealed once the pack is open.
If you want to know in advance how many biscuits you’ll use, a stated quantity can help. ALDI lists Biscotto Butter Spritz Biscuits as 12 biscuits in a 175 g pack. That count doesn’t tell you whether they’re individually wrapped for taking on the go.
If someone sharing the food needs to watch their ingredients or allergens, choose based on the exact pack. PLUS lists ingredients such as wheat, milk, egg or soya for different spritz biscuit varieties; the ingredients aren’t the same for every variety.
First, decide how many spritz biscuits you want and how you’ll store the rest. Then check the number of biscuits, the variety and the label. A larger pack doesn’t automatically make the biscuits more suitable for taking out individually.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough for a group | Compare the total weight with the number of people sharing, and check how you can seal the pack once opened. | If I often make coffee for a group, I want enough biscuits ready without leaving a large quantity open. Around 37% of consumers prioritise having enough for everyone. |
| Easy-to-plan portions | Check the weight and any stated number of biscuits; separately check whether they have individual wrappers. | For a small household or a lunchbox, I want to plan how many biscuits I’ll use. For around 27% of consumers, having a clear idea of the quantity matters most. |
| Pack size and variety | Compare the pack weights and check whether you’re looking at a butter, chocolate or another spritz biscuit variety. | When I’m choosing between two packs, I want to know whether both the quantity and the type of biscuit suit my coffee break. Around 18% of consumers prioritise this comparison. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and allergen information on the exact pack, including any ‘may contain’ warnings. | If someone sharing the food needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to check the variety I’ve chosen before serving it. Around 18% of consumers put this check first. |
A large pack or a stated number of biscuits doesn’t mean each biscuit is individually wrapped. This matters most if you want to take spritz biscuits with you or use an opened pack over several coffee breaks.
Check whether there are individual wrappers. Store any leftover biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a properly sealed container, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre.
Ingredients vary by product. PLUS lists wheat, milk and egg, among other ingredients, for one butter variety, and wheat, milk and soya, among others, for Lunetta spritz biscuits.
Before buying and serving, check the allergen information on the exact pack, even if you’re familiar with another spritz biscuit from the same brand.
Lidl states that its 400 g pack of butter spritz biscuits is available in store only. So an online product listing doesn’t, by itself, tell you whether the pack is available at your local store.
Check availability at your chosen store, and read the latest label for ingredients and allergen information.

A pack for a smaller coffee break if you fancy spritz biscuits with milk chocolate. The stated pack size is 150 g; check the label on the exact pack for ingredients and allergen information.
No, a stated number of biscuits doesn’t tell you whether they’re individually wrapped. Check the packaging if you want to take them with you, and seal the pack properly once opened.
Store the biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a properly sealed container, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. Also follow the storage instructions on the pack you’ve bought.
Yes, check the allergen information on the latest packaging. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens are declared on labels; Albert Heijn notes that product information, including ingredients and allergens, can change.
