Biscotto Szarlotki shortbread cookies

Biscotto is a private label brand primarily associated with the ALDI Nord retail group. These specific 'Szarlotki' cookies are brittle shortbread biscuits filled with apple filling, designed to mimic the flavors of traditional Polish apple pie (szarlotka).

Products under the Biscotto label found in Polish ALDI stores are generally manufactured by regional Polish bakeries or specialized confectionery producers contracted by the retailer to ensure local tastes and quality standards are met. This allows the retailer to offer competitive pricing while maintaining high production volumes.

The brand is owned and managed by ALDI, a massive multinational discount supermarket chain based in Germany. ALDI is split into two independent groups, ALDI Nord and ALDI Süd, with the Polish branch being part of ALDI Nord. This ownership structure ensures that the product distribution is centralized through ALDI's extensive logistics network across Europe.
