Lotus Biscoff The Original Speculoos

Lotus Biscoff is a globally recognized brand of speculoos biscuits, originally created in 1932 by Jan Boone Sr. in Lembeke, Belgium. The name 'Biscoff' is a portmanteau of 'Biscuit' and 'Coffee', reflecting its traditional pairing with hot beverages. These biscuits are characterized by their unique caramelized flavor and crunchy texture, made from a traditional recipe of cinnamon and other spices.

The brand is owned and operated by Lotus Bakeries, a family-owned Belgian company that has expanded significantly since its founding. While the primary production facility remains in Lembeke, Belgium, the company has expanded its manufacturing footprint to other locations, including the United States, to keep up with international demand. The packaging shown features a seasonal Saint Nicholas (Sinterklaas) design, which is a traditional figure in Belgian and Dutch culture widely associated with the consumption of speculoos.
