Choose an amount of spritz biscuits that your household will get through and that you can store in an airtight container. ALDI lists packs of 300–400 g, while Jumbo shows a bulk box of 40 × 38 g; the latter is best suited to a much larger household. Smaller packs let you try different flavours and open one pack at a time, but check the ingredients and allergens for each variety.
If spritz biscuits are often on the table or you regularly have visitors, you won’t want to keep buying a new pack. Jumbo lists a bulk box of 40 × 38 g; for a regular family supply, a smaller size may be more practical if you won’t get through it all quickly.
If you want to mix plain, butter and chocolate varieties, you can choose several smaller packs and open them one at a time. Check the ingredients and allergens for each flavour, as they may differ.
If ingredients or allergens influence your choice, the product name alone isn’t enough. The spritz biscuit varieties reviewed list ingredients such as wheat, milk, egg or soya, so check the information on the pack for the variety you choose.
Start with how much your household gets through, then consider whether ingredients or variety will affect your choice.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough in the pack | Compare the net weight with how much you get through and the space you have to store opened biscuits in an airtight container. | My biscuit tin is empty again in no time, and I don’t want to open a new pack for every visit. For around 50% of consumers, having enough in the pack would be the main priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the ingredients list and both the ‘contains’ and ‘may contain’ statements for the exact variety. | If someone at home needs to avoid certain ingredients, I don’t want to rely on a previous purchase from the same brand. For around 30% of consumers, ingredients and allergens would come first. |
| Flavour and storage | Consider which flavours everyone likes and follow the storage advice on the pack; seal opened biscuits well. | Not everyone likes the same spritz biscuits, so I’d rather finish one pack before opening another. For around 20% of consumers, this balance of variety and storage would matter most. |
Jumbo lists a box of 40 × 38 g. That quantity takes more space and planning than a regular pack, especially if you won’t eat all the biscuits quickly.
Choose a bulk box if it suits how much you get through. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises storing biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container.
Plain, butter and chocolate varieties may have different ingredients and allergen information. So buying one variety before doesn’t tell you everything about another pack.
Check the label before eating any new pack, even if you know the brand and product type.
Lidl lists 400 g butter spritz biscuits as an in-store product. This doesn’t mean they’re available at every branch.
Check the range at the store you plan to visit before making a special trip for this size.
Verkade Nobo Sprits are an option if you’re looking for a smaller pack of plain or milk chocolate biscuits.
Jumbo lists dark chocolate spritz biscuits in a 200 g pack.
PLUS lists 175 g butter spritz biscuits and 200 g Lunetta spritz biscuits for anyone looking to combine several regular-sized packs.
ALDI lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits in a 175 g pack, as well as a 300–400 g plain or chocolate option.
Lidl lists 400 g butter spritz biscuits as an in-store product.

A smaller pack for anyone who likes to enjoy milk chocolate spritz biscuits alongside other flavours. You may need several packs to fill a large biscuit tin.
Check the ingredients and allergens on the pack you receive.
Yes. Check the allergen information on the exact pack, even if you know the brand. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens must be labelled on prepacked foods; ingredients may also differ between spritz biscuit varieties.
No, don’t assume that. The regular spritz biscuit varieties reviewed list wheat or cereals containing gluten. Check the current ingredients and allergen information on the specific pack.
Store opened biscuits in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place, as advised by the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. Also follow the storage advice and use-by or best-before date on the specific pack.
