Lotus Biscoff cookie

Lotus Biscoff is a world-renowned caramelized biscuit, also known as speculoos, that originated in Lembeke, Belgium. The recipe was first created in 1932 by the Boone family, specifically baker Jan Boone Sr., who developed the unique flavor profile characterized by notes of cinnamon and caramelized sugar.

The brand has grown from a local European specialty into a global household name, famously served as a complimentary snack on many international airline flights. To this day, the majority of global production remains centered in Lembeke, Belgium, ensuring the consistency and heritage of the product.

Lotus Biscoff is owned and operated by Lotus Bakeries, a publicly traded company that remains largely under the control of the founding Boone family. The company has expanded its portfolio to include spreads and ice creams based on the iconic biscuit flavor while maintaining its headquarters in the country where it all began.
