Bulk Nougat & Torrone (Bars)
Eight nougat and torrone bars, each wrapped on its own and sold by the case. Some are soft nougat. Some wear a chocolate coat. Fillings include almond and hazelnut. Cranberry and strawberry turn up. So do caramel and marzipan. Maitre Truffout (Germany and Belgium) and Jannis (Greece) make them. Bars weigh 50 to 75g, and a unit runs 0.83 to 1.65 lb.
Bulk Nougat and Torrone Bars: Greek and German Imports for Wholesale Buyers
At 50 to 75g, a nougat bar isn’t a pick-and-mix piece. It’s a single-serve treat or a gift, with some weight to it. That puts it in places bulk bins don’t reach. Gift shops and specialty food counters want it. Cafe checkouts do too. So do gift baskets, since a bar gives a tray some height. The eight in this bar-format candy assortment come from two makers with different habits. One does chocolate-coated nougat. The other follows the Mediterranean honey torrone tradition.
Maitre Truffout sends three bars in the Central European style, which is a chocolate bar wrapped around something else. Inside the Alps Honey Nougat Almond Bar you’ll find honey nougat and almonds under a chocolate shell. Almond and nougat is about as classic as European candy gets. The Marzipan-Nougat Milk Chocolate Bar is made in Germany and comes as one 75g bar or a 75g 10-piece case, and we like that case for counters because it’s pre-counted and easy to restock. The Belgian one is the Nougat and Hazelnut Filled Chocolate Bar, chocolate outside with hazelnut nougat in the middle.
Jannis Greek Soft Nougat: A Different Tradition
Jannis is the Greek one, and nougat is all it does. Its torrone is soft and honey-based and packed with whole nuts, which is a very different animal from a chocolate bar. It’s one of the oldest sweets around the Mediterranean, as far as we know. Honey sweetens it. Whole almonds or hazelnuts go in instead of pastes, and that softness comes from how it was always made by hand.
Four Jannis bars here. The plain Almond Soft Nougat Bar (50g) is the classic, honey and almonds and nothing else. The Cranberry and Almond Soft Nougat Bar (60g) is tart. The cranberry cuts through the honey so the bar feels lighter, which tends to win over people who don’t normally buy nougat. Sweeter still is the Strawberry and Almond Soft Nougat Bar (60g), probably the easiest for someone who’s never met Greek nougat. For first-timers we’d point at the Caramel and Hazelnut Soft Nougat Bar (60g). Everybody knows caramel. Hazelnut sounds European in a good way.
Buyer Channels and Merchandising
Gift shops are where individually wrapped nougat bars go first. The European origin explains itself at the counter. A card that says ‘Greek honey nougat, imported from Greece’ or ‘German chocolate nougat bar’ needs nothing more. A 50 to 75g wrapped bar sits well at the register, since it doesn’t take floor space and a good wrapper does the selling.
Import grocers can put the Jannis Greek nougat in the Mediterranean section by the baklava and halva. It sits well near Greek halva and Greek honey toffee too. A shopper who comes for one Greek sweet is often open to the rest. A Greek sweets shelf with three or four items from different makers is a format that works for import grocers serving Greek or Mediterranean communities.
Event candy programs and hotel minibars and European dessert stations can use nougat bars as a packaged single-serve item that needs no staff. The 10-piece Maitre Truffout Marzipan-Nougat display case suits that, since it’s pre-counted and restocks in seconds. Basket makers use the bars as substantial filler. A 60 to 75g bar adds weight and height to a tray, and lighter candy can’t.

Storage and Shelf Life Notes
Keep soft honey nougat in a dry spot at room temperature and out of the sun. Warm rooms soften the honey and a bar can lose its shape. The chocolate-coated Maitre Truffout bars cope better, though we still wouldn’t leave them near anything hot. Jannis and Maitre Truffout bars usually carry 9 to 12 months of shelf life from production, so check the listing before an early seasonal order. The whole range sits in the nougat and torrone wholesale catalog. Bars next to truffles and pralines? That’s the bulk candy assortment.
