Which option is right for you?

For filling the biscuit tin

If you’re serving spritz biscuits to several people or saving some for another get-together, focus on the net weight, the number of portions listed and whether you can reseal the pack after opening.

For choosing by flavour

For you, the difference may be whether you’re serving classic butter spritz biscuits, milk chocolate spritz biscuits or a dark chocolate variety. The product name and ingredients can help you find the right one.

For checking the label carefully

If ingredients, allergens or nutritional information will influence your choice, check the exact pack. The products listed contain wheat and milk; other ingredients and warnings vary by variety.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide how many spritz biscuits you want to serve or store. Then compare the flavours and read the label before choosing a pack.

What to consider What to check when buying Who it matters to
Quantity and stocking up Compare the net weight in grams and, if listed, the number of portions. Also check whether you can reseal the pack after opening. If I want to serve several people or save biscuits for later, the pack size needs to suit how I’ll use them. For around 50% of consumers, having enough in the pack is the priority.
Flavour Check whether it’s a plain, milk chocolate, dark chocolate or decorated variety. If flavour determines what I serve, I want to know which variety I’m buying. Around 30% of consumers prioritise their choice of flavour.
Label and nutritional information Read the ingredients, allergens and any warnings on the current pack. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g for similar biscuits. If I need to avoid an ingredient or want to compare nutritional information, the label matters more than the pack size. For around 20% of consumers, this is the main consideration.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘family pack’ means a standard size

    The term doesn’t tell you how many spritz biscuits are in a pack. ALDI lists 300–400 g for its Biscotto butter spritz biscuits; the sharing packs listed by Jumbo, Albert Heijn and PLUS contain 175–200 g.

    Compare the net weight on the pack and, where listed, check the number of portions.

  • Using the label for a different flavour

    Ingredients and allergens can vary between plain and chocolate varieties. So the label on a similar pack isn’t a substitute for checking the spritz biscuits you’re serving.

    Read the ingredients, allergens and any ‘may contain’ statements on the exact pack.

  • Looking only at the pack weight

    A quantity that suits your group doesn’t tell you whether you’ll like the flavour or what the nutritional information is. Portion sizes can also vary between products.

    First choose a suitable quantity and variety; when comparing similar biscuits, use the nutritional information per 100 g.

  • Treating online product information as the label

    Before serving the spritz biscuits, check the information on the pack you’ve bought. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information for pre-packed products must appear on the label.

    Check the current pack, including the best-before date and allergen information, before serving.

Brands and varieties to consider

Verkade

NoboSprits Original and NoboSprits Melk are two varieties to compare if you’re choosing between classic spritz biscuits and milk chocolate.

  • For Original, Verkade lists ingredients including wheat flour, vegetable oils and butter oil; Melk is coated in milk chocolate.
  • Check the pack and ingredients for your chosen variety separately; the flavour name alone doesn’t tell you enough about allergens.

AH

AH Spritsen comes in a sharing pack for anyone looking for enough for one get-together.

  • Albert Heijn lists a net weight of 200 g and ten portions of 20 g.
  • Check the ingredients and allergens on the pack you buy, especially if someone at the table needs to avoid anything.

Jumbo

Jumbo Spritsen met Pure Chocolade is worth considering if you’re specifically looking for a dark chocolate variety.

  • Jumbo lists a net weight of 200 g for this variety.
  • When checking allergens, use the label for this chocolate variety, not one for plain spritz biscuits.

Biscotto

ALDI lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits, plain or with chocolate, for anyone considering a larger quantity to fill the biscuit tin.

  • ALDI lists a net weight range of 300–400 g.
  • Check the exact weight and variety on the pack in store.

PLUS

PLUS lists both Spritsen and Lunetta Spritsen, so you can compare two different varieties.

  • The listed packs contain 175 g and 200 g respectively.
  • The varieties have different ingredients, so check the label on the pack you choose.

Frequently asked questions

When is a pack of spritz biscuits big enough for a get-together?

It depends on how many you want to serve and whether you’re saving some for later. Compare the net weight in grams and the number of portions, if listed: Albert Heijn lists 200 g and ten portions for AH Spritsen, while ALDI gives a net weight range of 300–400 g for its Biscotto butter spritz biscuits.

How should I store opened spritz biscuits for another get-together?

Store the biscuits in a dry place and seal the pack securely after opening. Albert Heijn recommends keeping AH Spritsen in a sealed pack; Verkade advises storing its spritz biscuits in a dry, preferably cool place. Follow the storage advice on the pack you buy, too.

Should I check the allergens on every pack?

Yes. Check the exact variety before serving, especially if someone needs to avoid an ingredient. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority says that allergen information must appear on the label of pre-packed products; also check for any ‘may contain’ statements.

How should I use Nutri-Score when comparing spritz biscuits?

Use Nutri-Score only as a guide when comparing products of the same type, not as a standalone verdict on an individual pack. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends comparing products within the same product group; also check the ingredients and nutritional information per 100 g.
