If you’re sharing a biscuit tin, start by considering how much you get and which flavours you want. ALDI lists a Biscotto range of butter spritz biscuits in 300–400 g packs, while the PLUS and Jumbo options mentioned come in 175–200 g packs. You can combine smaller packs to offer a choice of flavours; check the current label on each option you choose for ingredients, allergens and storage instructions.
ALDI lists a Biscotto range of butter spritz biscuits in 300–400 g packs. It’s worth considering this size if you want to serve spritz biscuits on several occasions, but be sure to check the size of the option you choose.
If you want to offer plain and chocolate biscuits, you could combine smaller packs. Jumbo lists, among other options, 200 g spritz biscuits with dark chocolate, while PLUS has a 200 g Lunetta option.
If you’re buying spritz biscuits for others, check the label on the exact pack you’ve chosen. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority stresses that allergens must be clearly listed on the label.
Decide how many spritz biscuits you want to share and which flavours will suit your group. If you need to consider ingredients or allergens, check the label of each option you’re considering before you buy.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Pack size for a group | Check the net weight of the pack you’ve chosen and work out how many packs you’ll need. | I’m filling the biscuit tin for a group and want enough spritz biscuits for several occasions; around 40% of consumers put pack size first. |
| Flavours to suit your group | Check whether plain, chocolate or a Lunetta option matches the flavours you’re looking for. | If everyone doesn’t want the same flavour, I’d rather offer more than one option; around 30% of consumers place the greatest importance on variety. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging of each option you’ve chosen. | When I’m buying spritz biscuits for someone else, I need to check that the ingredients are suitable for them; for around 20% of consumers, checking the label is the main priority. |
| Availability and the right amount | Check that the option you want is available and choose an amount you’ll use. | If I need spritz biscuits for Valentine’s Day, I want an available pack without ending up with more than I need; for around 10% of consumers, this practical consideration comes first. |
If you’re catering for a group or several occasions, one smaller pack may not go as far as you expect. ALDI also lists a Biscotto range in 300–400 g packs.
Decide how much you want to share in advance and compare the net weight of the packs you’re considering.
Albert Heijn says that product information, including ingredients and allergens, can change. The exact pack you choose matters, particularly if you’re buying spritz biscuits for someone with specific dietary requirements.
Read the current label on that pack, including the best-before date and storage instructions.
A flavour that suits the occasion doesn’t tell you anything about the packaging.
If you’re giving the pack as a gift, take a look at the packaging of the option you’ve chosen first.
