Choose a 300–400 g pack of butter spritz biscuits if your main priority is having enough for a group; for example, Albert Heijn lists 20 portions in its 400 g pack. A smaller spritz biscuit with icing or cocoa is a good choice when presentation matters more than the overall quantity. Before serving, check the label on the pack you bought, especially if any guests need to avoid certain allergens.
You want to fill a serving platter or biscuit tin without relying on lots of small packs. Albert Heijn lists 20 portions for its 400 g pack of butter spritz biscuits; Lidl also offers a 400 g pack, while ALDI has a 300–400 g Biscotto option.
You’re looking for something beyond plain spritz biscuits, such as an iced or cocoa-topped option for the party table. Albert Heijn and Jumbo list 200 g packs of iced Lunetta spritz biscuits.
You want to know which biscuits you can offer your guests. Allergens vary by product: AH Roomboter ronde spritsen contain wheat, milk and egg, among other ingredients; other options also mention soya or warn that nuts may be present.
First, decide how many spritz biscuits you want to serve to your group. Then compare the look you’re after, and always check the packaging of your chosen option if any guests have an allergy.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity for your group | Compare the net weight and, where listed, the number of portions. | I want to fill the biscuit platter without relying on several small packs. For around 55% of consumers, having enough in the pack is the main priority. |
| Appearance and option | Check whether the spritz biscuits have icing or cocoa, and how many are in the pack. | For my party table, I’d rather choose a biscuit with a visible decorative touch, even if the pack is smaller. Around 27% of consumers prioritise presentation. |
| Allergens | Read the allergen information and warnings on the pack you buy. | If a guest has an allergy, I want to be able to decide which spritz biscuits are suitable before serving. This check is the main priority for around 18% of consumers. |
The spritz biscuit packs listed range from 150 g for Verkade Nobo to 400 g for Albert Heijn and Lidl butter spritz biscuits. So a different look doesn’t necessarily mean there are more biscuits in the pack.
Compare the net weight and use the listed number of portions as an additional guide for your group.
Ingredients and warnings vary between options and may change. If you’re serving biscuits on a shared platter, make sure you can tell which pack each biscuit came from.
Read the label on the pack you actually bought before serving the spritz biscuits, including any warnings about the possible presence of allergens.
AH Lunetta and Jumbo Lunetta with cocoa and icing both come in 200 g packs. That’s less than the 300–400 g butter biscuit packs listed above.

Use the number of portions on your chosen pack as a starting point, and take into account the number of guests and any other snacks. Albert Heijn lists 20 portions for a 400 g pack of AH Roomboter ronde spritsen and 15 portions for 200 g of AH Lunetta.
A large pack of butter spritz biscuits is a good choice when quantity is your priority; both Albert Heijn and Lidl list a 400 g option. Choose Lunetta spritz biscuits if icing or cocoa matters more for presentation, bearing in mind that the Albert Heijn and Jumbo options listed come in 200 g packs.
Seal the pack tightly or put the biscuits in an airtight tin, and follow the storage instructions on the packaging. This way, you can follow the guidance for the exact product you bought, even if you chose a different option.
Check the allergen information for each option separately before offering spritz biscuits to your guests. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains that 14 allergens must be listed on food labels; the spritz biscuits mentioned here include wheat, milk, egg and soya, among other ingredients, and some packs warn that other allergens may be present.
