A large pack of spritz biscuits is a good fit for a coffee table where you’re likely to get through plenty in one sitting. A multipack of individual packs lets you keep some unopened. For a smaller gathering or a table with other biscuits, a smaller pack may be enough. Whichever you choose, check the flavour and the label on the exact pack you’re serving, especially if your guests need to avoid certain allergens.
If you’re expecting several friends, compare a larger pack with a multipack. Lidl lists a 400 g pack, while Albert Heijn offers a Verkade multipack containing three individual 150 g packs. The main difference is how much you need to open at once.
If you’re serving other sweet treats too, a pack of 150–250 g gives you a smaller amount to open. Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list spritz biscuit options in this size range.
If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, check the label on the flavour and pack you’ve chosen. Allergen information for plain, chocolate and iced varieties isn’t interchangeable.
Best for: a coffee gathering where you’re likely to serve plenty of spritz biscuits straight away. Lidl lists 400 g of butter spritz biscuits, while ALDI lists Biscotto varieties in 300–400 g packs.
Consider: if fewer people turn up, you may be left with an opened pack. Lidl lists the 400 g pack mentioned here as an in-store item.
Best for: a group where you want plenty of spritz biscuits without opening everything at once. The Verkade Nobo multipack at Albert Heijn contains three individual 150 g packs.
Consider: 450 g in total doesn’t mean you get one large, resealable pack.
Best for: a small gathering or a table where spritz biscuits are served alongside other biscuits. For example, Verkade offers 150 g packs and Jumbo has 200 g packs.
Consider: if more guests arrive than expected, one smaller pack may not be enough.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Compare the net weight and check whether it’s one pack or several individual packs. Remember to count the other biscuits on the table too. | When I’m buying for a larger coffee gathering, I want enough spritz biscuits to serve without opening more than I need. Around 50% of consumers prioritise quantity. |
| Flavour and storage | Choose your preferred flavour and check how to seal an opened pack. | When I’m serving different flavours, I want to be able to store any leftover biscuits properly. Around 30% of consumers prioritise flavour and storage. |
| Allergens | Read the current label for the exact variety; don’t assume the information for another flavour applies. | If a guest needs to avoid certain ingredients, I want to know what’s on the pack before serving. For around 20% of consumers, the label is their main concern. |
The Verkade Nobo 3-pack at Albert Heijn contains three individual 150 g packs. So the total weight doesn’t tell you how many biscuits you’ll open at once.
Check how the pack is made up before choosing between one large pack and several individual ones.
Jumbo lists egg, milk, soya and wheat, among other allergens, for its dark chocolate spritz biscuits. Jumbo Lunetta biscuits with cocoa and icing carry a warning about possible traces of nuts, among other information.
Check the label on the exact variety you’re buying and serving.
Biscuits can lose their quality after opening if they aren’t stored properly.
Open what you want to serve and store the rest according to the pack instructions. The Voedingscentrum recommends keeping biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed container.
Lidl lists its 400 g butter spritz biscuits as an in-store-only item.
Check availability at the shop where you plan to buy the pack before planning your coffee table around that size.
Verkade Nobo Sprits is an option if you’re choosing between a single 150 g pack and, at Albert Heijn, a multipack of three individual 150 g packs.
Jumbo lists dark chocolate spritz biscuits and Lunetta spritz biscuits with cocoa and icing, both in 200 g packs.
ALDI lists Biscotto butter spritz biscuits in plain and chocolate varieties, with the pack size shown as 300–400 g.
PLUS lists spritz biscuits in a 175 g wrapper and round butter spritz biscuits in a 250 g pack.
This 150 g pack is a good fit for a small coffee gathering or for serving alongside other sweet treats. If you’re mainly looking for one large pack, compare a different size.

This smaller pack is a good fit for a small coffee gathering or a table with other biscuits.
These spritz biscuits are coated in milk chocolate and come in a 150 g pack.
If you have allergies, check the label on this exact pack, especially for information about nuts and sesame.
Choose an amount that suits your group and what else you’re serving, rather than following a fixed portion size. Albert Heijn lists a single 150 g pack and a multipack of three such packs, while Lidl lists a single 400 g pack. Individual packs let you decide how many to open.
No. Check the label for the exact variety. The information for Verkade’s plain variety differs from that for Jumbo’s chocolate and iced varieties, and warnings about possible traces may also vary between products.
Seal an opened pack well and store the biscuits in a cool, dry, dark place, as the Voedingscentrum recommends for biscuits. Also follow the storage advice and best-before date on the pack you’ve bought.
Lidl lists this pack as an in-store-only item. If you want to serve this particular size, check availability at your chosen shop.
