Who is this choice relevant to?

Hosts planning an Orange-themed night

You want the biscuits to suit the look and feel of match night. Albert Heijn lists Verkade Oranje Sprits; when you buy, also check the pack size and ingredients.

Buying for a group

You want to put enough spritz biscuits on the table for everyone joining you. Compare the weight per pack and decide how many packs you’ll need.

Hosts mindful of allergens

You’re sharing the biscuits with guests who may need to avoid certain ingredients. Check the allergen information for each variety you choose before serving.

What should you look for when buying?

First, work out how many people will be eating and which ingredients they need to avoid. Then decide how much you need and what you’d like to put on the table.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
How much you’ll need to share Compare the net weight and work out how many packs you need. PLUS lists Lunetta spritz biscuits at 200 g; ALDI Nederland lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits at 175 g, with 12 biscuits per pack. When I’m sharing spritz biscuits with a group, I don’t want to judge by the pack name alone. For around 42% of consumers, having enough to go round is the top priority.
Orange-themed packaging Check the current packaging for the variety you want, including its weight and ingredients. Albert Heijn lists Verkade Oranje Sprits as a product. I want the platter to suit match night, even if I still need to check the pack size before sharing. For around 25% of consumers, appearance is the deciding factor.
Ingredients and allergens Read the allergen information on the exact pack. The PLUS and Verkade varieties described differ in their information about egg, soya and the possible presence of nuts. If guests need to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know which variety I’m serving before it goes on the table. Ingredients and allergens are the main concern for around 33% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a sharing pack is a large pack for a group

    A name such as ‘sharing bag’ doesn’t tell you how many spritz biscuits are inside. The packs listed by Jumbo, ALDI Nederland and PLUS weigh 150 g, 175 g and 200 g respectively.

    Compare the net weight and work out how many packs you’ll need for your group before buying.

  • Choosing based on the Orange-themed packaging alone

    A variety that fits the theme doesn’t tell you how much is in the pack or what it contains.

    For your chosen Orange-themed variety, check the weight and allergen information on the current packaging too.

  • Assuming all spritz biscuits contain the same allergens

    The classic, decorated and milk chocolate varieties described don’t all have the same ingredients or warnings.

    Ask guests which ingredients they need to avoid, then check the label of every variety you plan to serve.

  • Leaving an opened pack unsealed

    An open pack can affect the quality of any biscuits left inside.

    Seal leftovers well and store them in a cool, dry, dark place, as advised by the Voedingscentrum for biscuits.

Brands to consider

Verkade

Verkade describes Nobo Sprits Original and a milk chocolate variety; Albert Heijn also lists Verkade Oranje Sprits.

  • Verkade’s product information lets you check the ingredients for Original and the milk chocolate variety separately.
  • Before buying the Orange-themed variety for a group, check the weight and ingredients on the current packaging.

PLUS

PLUS lists classic spritz biscuits in a 175 g pack and Lunetta spritz biscuits in a 200 g pack.

  • The listed weights help you work out how much you’ll need for your platter.
  • The two varieties don’t have the same ingredients or allergen information, so read the label on the pack you choose.

Biscotto

ALDI Nederland lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits in a 175 g pack containing 12 biscuits.

  • The stated biscuit count can help you divide the pack between your guests.
  • Check the ingredients and allergens on the exact pack before sharing it with guests.

Frequently asked questions

Is one pack of spritz biscuits enough for an Orange-themed match night?

It depends on how many people are eating and how many biscuits you want to put out. The packs listed by Jumbo, ALDI Nederland and PLUS range from 150 g to 200 g; if you’re buying several packs, compare their total weight.

Which pack listed here contains the most spritz biscuits?

Of the products discussed here, the 200 g pack of PLUS Lunetta spritz biscuits has the highest stated weight per pack. Whether one pack is enough still depends on the size of your group and what else you’re serving.

Should I check the allergens on the pack?

Yes. Check the information on the exact pack you’re serving, especially if guests need to avoid certain ingredients. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says allergens in prepacked foods must be clearly stated on the label; different spritz biscuit varieties may contain different ingredients and carry different warnings.

How should I store leftover spritz biscuits?

Seal any leftover biscuits well and store them in a cool, dry, dark place, following the Voedingscentrum’s storage advice for biscuits. Also follow the instructions on the packaging.
