Unibic Sponge Fingers
19 reviews
Totally deceptive markings on the packaging, this product is not fit for the purpose it is intended for (Tiramisu). This mob's paramount priority is obviously to make money, very little else. They should stick to concrete. You have been warned. Show details
No stars rather than 1 star. Rubbish product. Not fit for making Tiramisu as they state on the packaging. Don't waste your money. These were an insult to my Italian heritage !! Show details
Worst Savoiardi on the market – Worst Savoiardi for Tiramisu. First off, they've literally cut the ends off and the biscuits are not light and airy any more but denser so my Tiramisu that I've been making for decades was dry! What have you guys done to your Savoiardi?!! Worst product ever! Show details
Soft ,and stale like – I opened a brand new packet on Boxing Day for my trifle. I am disappointed in how soft they are, I miss the hard snap . Thankfully they are going in custard,so it doesn't matter. But not as good a product now Show details
Do not buy Ital Sponge finger biscuits for Tiramisu – Ital has decided to use well known packaging of the traditional savoiardi biscuits Unibic brand, confusing consumers. From my investigation online, the Unibic original savoiardi sponge fingers are no longer available. The new Ital biscuits have straight cut edges and are extremely hard. Dipping them into coffee mixtures for Tiramisu does NOT… Read more
soften them. My traditional Tiramisu for Christmas was a disaster. I discarded the whole dessert. Search for Italian savoiardi biscuits from specialty delis for your Tiramisu.
Don't use these for Tiramisu! – I tried Unibic sponge fingers to make Tiramisu. These biscuits are tough and don’t absorb the coffee mixture, very different to other brands I used before. The result was an inedible Tiramisu with hard and stale tasting biscuits, a real embarrassment at the Christmas dinner. Show details
Not Food – So accidently bought this crap again as they copied the packaging of the good sponger finger biscuits everyone in their right mind actually likes didn't they, to trick people. These are REALLY, REALLY BAD. For tiramisu I do the dip biscuit in coffee water. Now, with the good biscuits one must dip no longer than 1.5 seconds or they get too soggy.… Read more
Meanwhile, this travesty called food, I had 5 bobbing in the coffee water for 2 MINUTES and guess what? The centre of the biscuit which tastes like stale bread or cardboard, the coffee did NOT PENETRATE. Did not penetrate a BISCUIT. something is seriously wrong when a biscuit is completely immersed in liquid, left to soak, but liquid doesn't penetrate inside. That isn't food. What the actual ... no taste. hard. dry. 100% disappointing. They look like they were cut by a 1960's paper guillotine. I would put no stars as it looks like food but sure as fun doesn't taste like it but option not available.
Bring back the lightest sponge finger please – Very bad bought 3 packets for a Tiranusu the new biscuits are way too thick definitely the taste is too heavy, Very disappointing as I always like the light taste of this special biscuit they should make it better not worse. Show details
Bring back Unibic Sponge Fingers – It's disappointing that we cannot find these sponge fingers on the shop shelves of Woolies, Coles, or IGA anymore. Ital brand is nothing compared to Unibic brand, I use them, to make my family old favourite old Italian Stong Cake recipe..and when I couldn't find them..used the Ital biscuits. Just wasn't the same quality of taste and texture. "Please bring back our Australian made Unibic Sponge Finger biscuits"
Ital savoiardi biscuits – Couldn't agree with Nicole and others more. Ital brand are nothing compared to Unibic. They taste bland, amost stale with a terrible texture. I am annoyed that Woolies has replaced a quality Australian product with an inferior import when they should be supporting Australian businesses. Show details
Unibic sponge fingers – Perfect for trifles in lieu of sponge cake. Can't seem to find them anymore, Coles please bring them back, will not buy imported.
Where are the Unibic biscuits – Why have these biscuits been discontinued?? They were perfect for tiramisu. Please bring them back
Bring back unibic - Italia are dreadful – I bought Italia sponge finger biscuits and they are horrible. They taste stale and dry but floury. No crunch on the outside. I wanted the unibic ones but from this thread it looks like they aren’t available or the same as we remember. Woolies, please stop selling the Italia ones - you are doing a disservice to your customers. Truely the worst biscuit I’ve ever eaten. Would ruin a tiramisu. Show details

Unibic - Sponge Finger Biscuits – WHATS HAPPENED to my favourite sponge finger biscuit? Tiramisu does not taste the same using these biscuits and my family did not enjoy it at all. Please let us know why its been changed. :( I don't like to write negative reviews but I am blown away that something so GOOD has just changed. I am so disappointed. Show details
Sponge Fingers. They’re back! – I have found a new Sponge Finger, which taste very similar to the Unibic Sponge Fingers. It is soft and a larger finger. It’s also locally made. The brand is the “Famous Homemade Biscuits” I found it at Gervasi Foodworks in Brunswick. My Nonna saw them at Lakes Fresh in Taylor’s Lakes. Tiramisu is now back on the menu. Show details
Unbelievable – I can't believe they are gone. I used to eat these sponge fingers pretty much every day of my life for afternoon tea. I tried the italian imported product and i don't like them at all. No comparison, i really can't believe that a product like this can be discontinued. I am really sad and disappointed. Show details
So sad they’re gone – I grew up with these sponge finger biscuits. I’ve made tiramisu after tiramisu throughout the years. These were the best sponge finger biscuits on the market. Much nicer than any of the Italian brands. The size was perfect, texture was just right. This Christmas I made tiramisu using another brand. What a disaster!!! My family did not like it. Please please please bring them back!!!! Show details
Has the recipe changed? – I've been using these for deserts for many years, they used to be soft enough to cut in half without breaking up but no longer as they are now too crunchy. I will have to find another brand.
The texture has change – The sponge fingers are my favorite and i,ved always made sure that my pantry is always stocked up. I have been buying the sponge fingers for many many years however I,ved notticed that the texture has changed from soft to crunchy. I am now very.disappointed and will not be buying it again till the recipe has been brought back to its original texture. Light and fluffy Crunchy
