Biscoff Story
Biscuit + Coffee = BISCOFF
The
Biscoff story begins in Belgium where the Boone brothers established
their family business baking caramelized biscuits called Lotus Speculoos.
Over the past seventy years, Lotus Bakeries has turned a once-small
enterprise into a world-renowned business by honoring a tradition
of craftsmanship and personal service.
In 1984, the founders of The Gourmet Center, Inc., an American firm
that supplies food and beverages to the airline industry, discovered
Lotus Speculoos on a trip to Belgium. They were delighted with the
delicious biscuits. Working together, Lotus Bakeries and The Gourmet
Center, Inc. renamed the beloved biscuit "Biscoff," a biscuit
for coffee.
In an effort to reach customers who had never tried these wonderful
biscuits, we began distributing Biscoff Biscuits on airlines in
1984, to the delight of thousands of passengers. In response to
overwhelming demand for the biscuits, a mail order catalogue was
developed. In 1999, we launched www.biscoff.com and find that we
are attracting an even wider group of "Biscoff Fans" around
the world! To answer a continually growing demand, Biscoff is now available in fine retail stores throughout the U.S.

Revealed! The Secrets of Biscoff
(1) It's all in the mix!
Only the highest quality ingredients are used. Biscoff dough must
be mixed and kneaded in accordance with the Boone brothers' original
1932 recipe. The dough needs time to "rest" in just the
right conditions - the temperature and humidity of the room will
affect the dough rising correctly! Precision in the measurements
of the freshest ingredients used has taken years to perfect.
(2) Daily Dedication to being delicious!
An expert panel of bakers, members of our staff, and invited customers
judge the flavor, color and texture of the biscuits every day. In
this way, Lotus Bakeries North America can guarantee the taste
and freshness of their caramelized biscuits.
