Company Overview:

In 1932, Belgian baker Jan Boone produced caramelized biscuits exclusively from natural ingredients. He named them "Lotus" in honor of the flower symbolizing purity. In the 1950s, Baker Boone began packaging his biscuits individually and introduced them to eating establishments as a "coffee biscuit." The concept was a huge hit. Coffee and the Lotus Speculoos biscuit complement each other. They reinforce each other and form the perfect duo. The popularity of Lotus Speculoos biscuits has grown tremendously. From lattes to takeaway espressos, coffee lovers all over the world are asking for the Lotus cookie. On an international level, the Lotus Biscoff cookie is short for "coffee biscuit." Meanwhile, the caramelized biscuit is much more than just a coffee biscuit. Creative chefs also use it as an ingredient in delicious desserts like tiramisu.
