Choose one pack if you need spritz biscuits for a sharing occasion, or several separate packs if you’d like to open a fresh one for different occasions. For lunchboxes, a standard pack is practical if you’re happy to portion the biscuits yourself: a stated weight or number of portions doesn’t mean they’re individually wrapped.
For coffee breaks, visitors or several snack occasions, it helps to compare the pack weight with the stated number of biscuits. ALDI lists twelve biscuits in a 175 g pack of Biscotto; the packs mentioned by Verkade and PLUS weigh 150 g and 175 g respectively.
If you want to portion the biscuits in advance, the number of portions is more useful than the pack weight alone. Jumbo lists nine portions for Verkade Nobo Sprits milk chocolate. Check the packaging if you need individually wrapped biscuits; otherwise, you can portion them yourself and keep the rest sealed.
Check the label on the exact variety before buying, even if you already know the brand. The ingredients and allergens listed differ between the plain, milk chocolate and butter spritz biscuits mentioned here.
If you need to avoid certain ingredients, start with the label. Then decide how many spritz biscuits you’d like to share and whether you can portion them yourself for lunchboxes.

The weight, number of biscuits or number of portions doesn’t tell you whether the biscuits are individually wrapped. If you’re counting on that, you may find you can’t take them along in individual portions without preparing them first.
Check whether individual wrapping is explicitly stated on the pack. If it isn’t, plan to portion the biscuits yourself and take a well-sealed container or bag.
The plain, milk chocolate and butter spritz biscuits mentioned here have different ingredients and allergens. So, having bought the same brand before is no substitute for checking the label on the pack you’ve chosen.
Before buying, read the ingredients list and check which allergens are present or may be present on the exact packaging.
If you’re spreading one pack across several sharing occasions or lunchboxes, the storage advice for after opening matters.
