Choose a larger pack of spritz biscuits if several family members eat them regularly and you can store them properly once opened. If you mainly take a few biscuits in a lunchbox now and then, a 150–200 g pack may be easier to portion and finish. Check the ingredients, allergens and nutrition information for the specific variety you choose, too: pack size alone won’t tell you any of that.
If several family members take spritz biscuits with them or eat them at home, check how much is in the pack and whether you can keep the biscuits dry and sealed once opened. ALDI lists Biscotto packs of 175 g and 300–400 g; Lidl lists a 400 g pack.
If you only take spritz biscuits with you occasionally, the portion information can help you decide how much to pack in advance. Albert Heijn lists around nine portions per 150 g pack of Verkade Nobo plain spritz biscuits; Jumbo lists fifteen portions for its 200 g spritz biscuits with dark chocolate.
Recipes vary by brand and flavour. Always read the ingredients, allergen information and any warnings about traces on the label for the exact variety, even if you’ve bought a different spritz biscuit from the same brand before.
First decide whether you want a supply to keep at home or biscuits to take along for individual lunches. Then compare the portion information, nutritional values and ingredients of the varieties that suit your needs.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size | Compare the net weight with how many spritz biscuits you expect to get through, and check the storage advice. | If several family members share the same biscuit tin, I want a pack we can finish without leaving the biscuits open for too long. Pack size would be the top priority for around 40% of consumers. |
| Portions for eating on the go | Check the portion size and number of portions on the specific pack. | For a lunchbox, I want to know in advance how many biscuits to take, even when there’s a larger pack at home. Portion control would come first for around 30% of consumers. |
| Nutrition information | Compare the nutritional values per 100 g and, if listed, per portion. | If I take spritz biscuits with me more often, I want to know how much sugar and saturated fat are in the amount I’ve chosen. Around 20% of consumers would check the nutrition information first. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack, even if you’re choosing a different flavour from the same brand. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, the recipe matters more than the pack size or flavour. This check would be the deciding factor for an estimated 10% of consumers. |
You can’t identify a large pack by weight alone. Albert Heijn lists 150 g packs of Verkade Nobo plain spritz biscuits, while ALDI lists a 300–400 g Biscotto option and Lidl lists 400 g butter spritz biscuits.
Check the net weight of the specific variety. Only choose a larger pack if you expect to finish it and can store it properly.
Ingredients and allergens may differ between plain and chocolate varieties. So a brand you know and trust doesn’t tell you enough about a different pack.
When you buy, check the ingredients, allergens and any warnings about traces on the packaging again.
The total weight doesn’t tell you how many biscuits to take for one lunch. The listed portion size can also vary from product to product.
Decide at home how many biscuits to take, and use the nutrition information per portion if it’s available. Store the rest according to the advice on the pack.
A pack intended to last for several lunches won’t stay properly sealed by itself after you first open it. The variety available may also vary from one shopping trip to the next; Lidl lists its 400 g pack as an in-store product.
Before buying, check the packaging, use-by date and storage instructions. Make sure you can store any leftover biscuits as directed.
Nobo Sprits is worth considering if you’re looking for a smaller pack or want to compare plain biscuits with a milk chocolate variety.
Jumbo’s spritz biscuits with dark chocolate are an option to compare if you’re looking for a 200 g chocolate variety.
At PLUS, you can compare spritz biscuit packs in different weights and flavours.
Biscotto is worth considering if you’re looking for butter spritz biscuits for your biscuit tin at ALDI.
This milk chocolate spritz biscuit pack weighs 150 g, making it a good choice if you want a smaller supply or a change of flavour. If you’re planning to use it for several lunches, check the packaging and storage instructions.

For anyone who wants to take milk chocolate spritz biscuits in a smaller pack or portion them out at home.
Net weight: 150 g. Check the portion information, storage instructions and allergens on the packaging before using the pack for several lunches.
A 300–400 g pack may suit you if several family members eat spritz biscuits regularly and you can store them properly. ALDI lists a 300–400 g Biscotto option; if you only take biscuits with you now and then, compare packs of 150–200 g as well.
Follow the storage instructions on the specific pack and check what it says about storing the biscuits after opening. If you’re portioning biscuits out from a larger pack, make sure you can seal and store the rest as directed.
Values per 100 g let you compare varieties on the same weight basis, but they don’t automatically tell you how much you’re taking with you. Also check the listed portion size and nutrition information per portion, if these are shown on the pack.
According to the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority, allergen information should appear on the label of prepacked food. Check the current packaging for the flavour you’ve chosen: ingredients and any warnings about traces can vary between varieties.
