Wholesale Austrian Dairy-Free (Parve) Candy
Everything on this page is Woogie Fine Drops, a sanded hard candy from Austria that’s dairy-free and parve-suitable. It comes in tins and bulk formats, with cases from 1.16 to 4.26 lb.

Woogie (you’ll also see it written Woggie) is the one brand running this whole Austrian candy shelf, and it’s the kind of European item that makes a dairy-free candy section look different from the usual domestic stuff. We carry 10 products and every one is Woogie. They come in tins and bulk formats. Case weights run 1.16 to 4.26 lb. If you want to see what else sits next to it, the bulk candy catalog has the rest.
Fine Drops are sanded hard candy. Every piece gets a thin coat of sugar crystals, so it sparkles a bit and has a slightly grainy first taste before the hard center takes over. American candy rarely looks like that, so a shopper who picks one up usually figures it’s European. We think a bowl of them on a counter catches the eye in a way plain hard candy doesn’t. The coating also seems to shrug off a little moisture, which can help a jar stay loose.
Start with apple. The Woogie Fine Drops Sanded Apple Candy Tin is the flavor most people reach for first, since it isn’t too exotic and it isn’t boring either. Austrian apple tastes clean, closer to the fruit than most domestic versions we’ve tried. Orange follows. The Woogie Fine Drops Sanded Orange Candy Tin has a true citrus note and no weird bitterness. Both are easy for a first-time customer to understand, and that counts on a busy counter.
Raspberry is the gift-shop favorite. The Woogie Fine Drops Sanded Raspberry Candy Tin pairs a pretty tin with a flavor people already link to nice European sweets. Lemon comes two ways. The Woogie Fine Drops Sanded Lemon Candy Tin is for buyers who want one bright citrus flavor. The Lemon and Orange combination tin sits next to it nicely. Shops often order it alongside the single-flavor tins just to get more color on a shelf.
Forest berries has a darker, wilder taste. Blackberry and blackcurrant are somewhere in there. The Woogie Fine Drops Sanded Forest Berries Candy Tin tends to do well in natural food stores and in gift baskets. The name sounds artisanal, and that helps when you’re pricing a basket a bit higher. It also looks great next to the raspberry tin.
Cherry finishes the single-flavor tins. The Woogie Fine Drops Sanded Cherry Candy Tin sells all year in import grocery and specialty shops, and the holidays give it an extra push. Put it near the raspberry and forest berries and you’ve got a berry corner on your shelf without any extra effort.
For anyone who’d rather not choose, there are two mixed-fruit formats. The Woogie Fine Drops Sanded Mixed Fruit Candy Tin puts several flavors in one package. It’s what we’d suggest as a first purchase if you’re new to Woogie and want to see how it sells before ordering single flavors. The Woogie Fine Drops Mixed Fruit Candy Mini Glass Jar is a different look. A glass jar behaves differently on a shelf than a tin does. It fits gift shop counters and wine-and-cheese shops, or any basket where the packaging counts as much as the candy.
The big one is the Woogie Fine Drops Sanded Mixed Fruit Jumbo Glass Jar. It sits at the top of the 4.26 lb case range, and it’s built for busy spots. Think a hotel lobby candy station or a deli counter, or an event table where a huge jar of European hard candy can be the centerpiece. Hospitality accounts tend to like that sort of thing.
Some buyers shop for the dairy-free part first. A retailer serving kosher-observant shoppers needs candy that’s parve-suitable, since a hard candy served after a meat meal shouldn’t have dairy in it. Woogie Fine Drops are dairy-free by formulation, and that makes them a fit for Jewish delis and kosher caterers. Gift-basket makers serving that crowd buy them too. Natural food stores with vegan shoppers are another place to look.
Cases run 1.16 to 4.26 lb, so a small specialty shop ordering tins and a bigger display account ordering the jumbo jar can both be served. Tins stack well and look gift-ready, which suits tight import grocery shelving. They’re also tougher in transit than glass. The glass jars are display pieces, and they belong where the spot won’t see a lot of bumping around.
There’s no minimum order, and retail and wholesale buyers can both order. Approved wholesale accounts get account pricing. Shipments stay inside the US. If you’re putting together a European candy tin section, Woogie gives you a whole single-brand shelf that reads as one collection, from apple and orange through lemon-orange and forest berries to the three mixed fruit formats.
