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.
