A large pack of plain or butter spritz biscuits is ideal for a film night when several people want to share the same flavour, or if you’d like to save some biscuits for another evening. If variety matters more, smaller packs in flavours such as chocolate or advocaat give you more choice. Compare the net weight, seal any leftovers well and always check the label on the exact pack if anyone has an allergy.
You want to share biscuits and still have some left afterwards. It’s also worth considering whether you can seal the leftovers properly; the Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place.
You don’t want to serve only plain spritz biscuits. Product listings from PLUS and Jumbo include advocaat and chocolate flavours, so two smaller packs could be an alternative to one large pack.
You need to know what’s in the flavour you’ve chosen before sharing the biscuits. Ingredients and allergens vary by product, so the information on the pack you buy is what matters.
Decide how many biscuits you want to share, then choose between one flavour or a few different varieties. Before serving, check the ingredients on each pack.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size and storage | Compare the net weight: Albert Heijn lists Verkade Nobo plain biscuits at 500 g and ALDI Nederland Biscotto butter spritz biscuits at 300–400 g. Also consider how you’ll seal an opened pack. | If I want to share biscuits over several film nights, I don’t want to open a new pack every time; around 40% of consumers prioritise having enough in the pack. |
| Flavour choice | Check whether one variety will be enough. Jumbo lists spritz biscuits with dark chocolate at 200 g, while PLUS lists advocaat spritz biscuits at 175 g. | If everyone has different tastes, I want to be able to offer a choice, even if that means buying two smaller packs; flavour choice matters most to around 30% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack, and look out for any warnings about possible traces. | Before sharing spritz biscuits, I want to know if anyone needs to avoid certain ingredients; around 30% of consumers prioritise this check. |
Pack sizes range from 175 g at PLUS to 500 g for Verkade Nobo plain biscuits at Albert Heijn. The name or picture on the front won’t tell you how many biscuits you’re actually getting.
Compare the net weight and consider whether one larger pack in a single flavour or two smaller varieties would suit your group better.
Ingredients and allergens can vary between spritz biscuit flavours. PLUS also notes that product information may change, so an online description is no substitute for checking the label on the pack you buy.
Read the pack before buying, and check it again before sharing the biscuits if anyone needs to avoid particular ingredients.
Biscuits can lose their quality once opened. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing them in a cool, dry, dark place and sealing them well.
Seal any leftovers straight away and only choose a larger pack if you expect to use all of it.
Albert Heijn lists Verkade Nobo plain spritz biscuits in a 500 g pack. Verkade also has a Nobo variety with milk chocolate.
ALDI Nederland lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits in a 175 g pack, as well as a separate listing for butter spritz biscuits weighing 300–400 g.
PLUS lists butter spritz biscuits and a separate advocaat spritz variety, both in 175 g packs.
Jumbo lists spritz biscuits with dark chocolate in a 200 g pack.
Lidl Nederland offers Sondey as a range of biscuits and also lists butter spritz biscuits.
Choose based on how many people will be sharing and whether you’d like to save some biscuits for another evening. Albert Heijn lists Verkade Nobo plain biscuits at 500 g, while ALDI Nederland lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits at 300–400 g; smaller packs listed by PLUS and Jumbo weigh 175–200 g. If not everyone wants the same flavour, two smaller packs might work better than one large one.
Store the biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place and seal them well, as recommended by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. Also follow the storage instructions and use-by date on the pack.
That depends on the exact variety and which ingredients the person needs to avoid. For its Nobo spritz biscuits with milk chocolate, Verkade lists wheat, milk and soya; other varieties may have different ingredients or warnings. So, before sharing, check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’ve bought.
