Label readers are a particular crowd, and celiac shoppers are the most careful of them. They remember who made it easy. A clearly stocked gluten-free candy section turns careful shoppers into regulars, because you’ve done the hard part for them. We’ve pulled together a wholesale selection of candy made without gluten ingredients. You can serve that crowd by the case.
Wheat just isn’t in a lot of old-style sweets. Sugar does the work, with nuts or fruit. So our gluten-free shelf is mostly dragees and traditional confections. We carry Italian almond confetti dragees in yellow and red, and a green one too. All are thin-shell and gluten-free by nature. From Greece we have organic honey halva in a classic recipe and an almond version. It comes as single bars and multi-packs. These are simple traditional confections, and their ingredients keep them clear of gluten. That’s why they belong on this shelf.
Who shops gluten-free
We think this crowd is bigger than most owners guess. Celiac customers can’t bend on gluten at all. Then there are the sensitive ones, and people who simply cut it out. All of them hunt for a marked option. A shopper who finds a reliable gluten-free section keeps coming back. They won’t risk an unmarked shelf elsewhere. Lose that trust and it’s hard to win back.
A straight word on labeling
We want to be honest here, because for celiac customers it really matters. Nothing here is made with gluten ingredients. A celiac customer is a different matter. Read the packaging on each product before you promise anything. Shared manufacturing lines vary by item and by facility. We can pass along the packaging details we have on any product. That way you and your customers can decide for yourselves. We’d rather you verify than take a risk.
Packing, pricing and shipping
It all goes out in full cases. We don’t break them into single units. Cases generally run 5 to 10 kilograms depending on the maker and format. Prices are per case in US dollars. We ship throughout the United States. There’s no minimum order. Approved wholesale accounts get account pricing. For something big, ask us for a quote.
Storage is easy. Dragees have a hard shell. They sit happily at room temperature as long as they stay dry. Halva likes cool and dry too. It holds well, but not in a hot window. None of it is as fussy as filled chocolate.
Building a gluten-free section
Anchor it with the almond confetti dragees. The bright colors merchandise well. They work for everyday sales. They also suit celebrations, where sugared almonds are a tradition. Add the Greek honey halva in classic and almond for something more substantial with a different texture. Halva multi-packs suit customers buying ahead. Together that gives gluten-avoiding shoppers a real choice instead of one token item.
Many items on this shelf could also sit on a dairy-free candy or sugar-free candy shelf, depending on the product. If you’re building a free-from area, cross-merchandise. The same dietary-minded shopper often browses all three. Group them and your store becomes the obvious stop.
We keep naturally gluten-free candy in stock by the case and ship across the US in dollars. We’ll share packaging details so you can serve celiac and sensitive customers responsibly. Add cases to your cart from the products below, or reach out for help building a free-from section. Bigger buyers can browse the bulk candy range by the case.
Dragees for celebrations too
Dragees have a second life, and it’s a celebration one. Sugared almonds, confetti in the Italian sense, go out at weddings and christenings. Showers too. They get tied up in small bundles as favors. Most shops never think of that buyer. Someone planning an event might order dragees by the case and fill the favor bags herself, in yellow or red or green. It’s a big order. It tends to come back with the next wedding season.
Put the dragees where both buyers will see them. On a plain shelf they’re a bright gluten-free treat for someone reading labels. Near a gift display they turn into favor material. A small sign about the tradition can pull in a customer who didn’t know you had them. One line of stock, two kinds of buyer. We like that.
Greek honey halva gives gluten-avoiding customers more than a hard shell, and the multi-packs suit anyone buying ahead. Keep both dry and they hold up fine. Chocolate is far more of a fuss. A customer with strict celiac needs should read that product’s packaging. We’ll pass along the packaging details we hold, so you can serve that shopper properly and still catch the celebration trade.
