If you’re planning to share spritz biscuits this Valentine’s Day, check how many biscuits are in the pack. For a lunchbox, portion size and the way they’re packaged matter most. A pack containing several biscuits isn’t necessarily a multipack with individually wrapped portions. Before buying, check the current packaging for the number of biscuits, allergens and storage advice, especially if you’re giving them to someone else.
If you’re having coffee with two or more people, the stated number of biscuits can help you work out how many packs you’ll need. Albert Heijn lists 9 portions for Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel and 10 biscuits for AH Spritsen; ALDI lists 12 biscuits for Biscotto Roomboterspritsen.
If you want to take biscuits along for individual snacks, portion size and how the pack can be stored once opened are important. Jumbo lists one biscuit as a portion for Verkade Nobo Sprits and advises keeping the opened pack sealed. Check separately whether the pack contains individual wrappers.
When choosing between plain and milk chocolate, nutritional information and allergens may also influence your decision. Jumbo lists 4.9 g of sugars per biscuit for Verkade Nobo Sprits Melkchocolade, compared with 4.0 g for Naturel; the milk chocolate version also contains soya.
First decide whether you mainly want to share the biscuits, take them with you or find a particular flavour. Then compare the portions and check that the packaging suits how you plan to use them.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| How many to share | Compare the stated number of biscuits or portions and the net weight. Check separately whether multiple inner packs are listed. | If I want to share spritz biscuits over coffee, I want to know in advance whether one pack will be enough. Around 44% of consumers prioritise sharing. |
| Lunchbox portions | Check how many biscuits make up one portion, whether there are individual wrappers and how to store the pack once opened. | For a lunchbox, I want to be able to take one biscuit without leaving the whole pack open; around 33% of consumers prioritise portioning. |
| Flavour and nutritional information | Compare the flavour, sugars per biscuit and allergens on the current label. | If flavour is what matters most to me for Valentine’s Day, I also want to know what’s in that version. Flavour is the main priority for around 23% of consumers. |
The number of biscuits tells you how many are in the pack, not whether they’re individually wrapped. This matters most if you want to portion out spritz biscuits for lunchboxes.
Look on the current packaging for an explicit number of inner packs or a statement that the biscuits are individually wrapped.
Albert Heijn’s product information lists milk and wheat for Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel; the milk chocolate version also contains soya. Warnings about possible traces may matter to the person receiving them, too.
Before sharing, read the label on the pack you’re actually buying, including information about allergens present and possible traces.
According to Jumbo’s product information, Verkade Nobo Sprits Melkchocolade contains 4.9 g of sugars per biscuit, while Naturel contains 4.0 g per biscuit. These figures apply to these two versions and the same serving unit, not to all spritz biscuits.
Compare the nutritional information per biscuit or per portion, and check the portion size stated on the packaging.
The stated quantities and weights describe regular products; they don’t tell you whether special packaging will be available for the Valentine’s Day you’re shopping for.
Check the current product description and packaging shortly before buying, especially if individually wrapped portions are important for your plans.
Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel and Melkchocolade are regular 150 g packs. Albert Heijn lists 9 portions for both.

No. A stated number of biscuits or portions doesn’t mean they’re in individual wrappers. For example, Albert Heijn lists 9 portions for Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel and 10 biscuits for AH Spritsen; check the packaging format separately if you need individual portions.
Read the current label for the version you’ve chosen, including any warnings about possible traces. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel and Melkchocolade contain milk and wheat; the milk chocolate version also contains soya.
For babies and toddlers, the Voedingscentrum recommends offering biscuits once a week rather than every day. If you’re choosing spritz biscuits for a lunchbox, also check the portion size and ingredients of the specific pack.
Follow the storage advice on the packaging. For Verkade Nobo Sprits Naturel and Melkchocolade, Jumbo advises keeping the pack sealed once opened; for another product, check its own label.
