For moving day with housemates or when you have visitors, choose a 300–400 g pack of spritz biscuits if you want to share. For a small biscuit tin or a few coffee breaks, 175–200 g is a better fit for a limited stash; Lidl lists a 400 g pack, while Albert Heijn and PLUS show examples of 175–200 g. Then check the current pack weight, flavour and label for allergens and storage instructions.
If your housemates, friends or anyone helping you move will be tucking in, a larger 300–400 g pack could be a good choice. Lidl lists a 400 g pack; ALDI gives the weight of one Biscotto variety as a range of 300–400 g, so check which pack is actually available in store.
For a few coffee breaks, you can compare packs of 175–200 g. Albert Heijn lists AH Spritsen at 200 g, divided into 10 portions of 20 g. Once you open the pack, the storage advice on the one you choose is also worth checking.
When choosing between plain, butter and chocolate or cocoa varieties, there’s more to consider than flavour alone. Check the ingredients, nutrition information and allergens on the current label for the exact variety, especially if you’re sharing the biscuits with others.
First, work out how many people will be sharing the biscuit tin and how many coffee breaks you want it to cover. Then compare the exact pack and its label, rather than relying on the term ‘family pack’.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Enough to share | Check the net weight. If a weight range is given, check the contents of the current pack. | If my housemates and anyone helping me move are joining in, I want to fill a biscuit tin without relying on a small pack. For around 36% of consumers, having enough to share would be the first consideration. |
| A stash that suits your needs | Check the net weight and the storage instructions for an opened pack. | For a few coffee breaks, I don’t want to open more than I expect to use. A suitably sized, limited stash would be the priority for around 43% of consumers. |
| Flavour and label | Compare the exact flavour and check the ingredients, allergens and nutrition information on the pack. | When I share spritz biscuits with my housemates, I want to know which variety I’m putting out and what the label says it contains. For around 21% of consumers, the label and choice of flavour would be the main consideration. |

It doesn’t refer to a standard pack size, so check the net weight of the exact pack. Lidl lists 400 g and ALDI gives 300–400 g for one Biscotto variety. For a small biscuit tin, the 175–200 g packs listed by PLUS and Albert Heijn may be a better fit for how you plan to use them.

Follow the storage instructions on the pack you choose and seal it properly after use. Albert Heijn advises storing AH Spritsen in a cool, dark and dry place; Jumbo says to store Lunetta Spritsen in a dry place after opening.
