History and Origin
The story of Lotus Biscoff began in 1932 in a local bakery in Lembeke, Belgium. The name ‘Biscoff’ is a combination of ‘biscuit’ and ‘coffee’, highlighting its perfect pairing with a cup of coffee. Over the years, the brand has expanded its range, introducing the innovative Biscoff Spread. This creation was inspired by a Belgian tradition of placing the biscuits on bread, leading to the development of a spreadable version. Due to popular demand, a crunchy variant was later introduced, offering an extra layer of texture to the beloved spread.
