Bulk Chocolate Wholesale
Filter
Chocolate by the case, mostly from Monardo and Maitre Truffout with Sconza and Narr right behind them. Crispo and Zaini are in too, plus Fazer and Albanese. The stock comes out of the USA and Italy and a few other places, and a case runs about 5 to 10 kg. There’s no minimum so you can buy one. We sell retail and wholesale. Checkout is by card and everything ships inside the US.
Bulk chocolate wholesale, European and American
There are 127 products in this group, which is enough that a coffee bar and a gift shop could both shop here and walk away with different things. Chocolate-coated nuts take up a big chunk of it, then fruit and pralines and a few novelty formats. Sweden and Switzerland are on the origin list next to the USA and Italy. Greece and Spain show up as well.
If someone asked where we’d start, we’d say Narr. It’s Swedish. The Narr Chocolate Almonds Mix sits beside the Narr Milk Chocolate Almonds and the Narr Tiramisu Chocolate Almonds, and a Narr Chocolate Hazelnut Mix makes the fourth. They go by weight or in gift packs. The American side is Albanese, meaning the Dark Chocolate Walnuts and the Milk Chocolate Walnuts. Next to those you’ll find the Milk Chocolate Praline Peanuts and a Dark Chocolate Bridge Mix.
Chocolate-covered fruit and novelties
The Milk Chocolate Dried Blueberries are the fruit item, made in the USA. The Maitre Truffout Hot Chocolate Spoons are whole milk and come as 10-packs or 12-packs, and honestly they’re a cold-weather thing. Two others don’t act like chocolate at all. One is the Intense Coffee Filled Candy and the other is a Spanish Wrapped Soft Fruit Candy.
Brown is the main color here with some white and gold mixed in. There’s a bit of yellow too. Green shows up, and so do the assorted bags. It all ships in bulk. You’ll see gluten-free and vegan tags on some items and sugar-free on others, so use the filters if a customer asks. Then there’s a Greek oddity, the Organic Sesame Halva Five-Flavor Assortment in 5x75g or as a 2-pack, which makes sense if your chocolate shelf already has a Mediterranean corner.
Who buys bulk chocolate
Gift basket companies and coffee bars buy from this group, and so do gourmet grocers. Hotel pantries and ordinary candy shops pick things up here as well. The nut chocolates go with coffee, we think. The hot chocolate spoons tend to get grabbed at the register once it turns cold. With this many makers on one page the shelf won’t look like a single distributor’s catalog.
Six origins under one roof
Six countries feed this group and you can tell once you taste across it. Narr’s Swedish nuts have their buyers. Zaini and Crispo from Italy have different ones. The Albanese walnuts from the USA bring another crowd, and the Greek halva gets its own small following. So one page covers a few kinds of shopper without a second supplier.
- Monardo and Maitre Truffout come first. Sconza and Narr are next. Crispo and Zaini follow, then Fazer and Albanese.
- Brown leads the colors. White and gold are there too. Yellow, green and assorted round it out.
- Some items are gluten-free. Others are vegan or sugar-free.
- A case weighs about 0.44 to 2.2 lb, and that depends on the product.
How ordering works
We sell by the case and you can start with a single one. At about 5 to 10 kg it’s a modest way to try a Narr nut line or a few hot chocolate spoons. Accounts are for resale. Approved accounts get account pricing. We ship to addresses in the US.
Want to narrow by origin? USA chocolate covers the domestic side where Albanese and the bridge mixes live. The Italy chocolate page has Zaini and Crispo pralines. Both share brands with this one so reordering is easy to keep straight. For a wider look there’s the whole bulk candy range.
Why import chocolate from us
You can put European and American chocolate on one account, which is rare. Most domestic price sheets don’t carry Swedish nut chocolate or Italian pralines. That’s where the margin is, since the labels look unfamiliar next to the usual brands. One order, one supplier.
Chocolate does its best business when it’s cold out. That’s when nut chocolates and hot chocolate spoons move along with the gift pieces, so we’d order a little ahead of the fall rush. Summer shipping is fussier because of the heat. Begin with the lead brands and see where it goes.
Building a chocolate assortment that sells
A good order has a mix of price points, we’ve found. Say you take the Narr Chocolate Almonds Mix and the Albanese Dark Chocolate Walnuts as the base. The Milk Chocolate Dried Blueberries cover someone wanting fruit and the Maitre Truffout Hot Chocolate Spoons are there for a winter impulse buy. The Dark Chocolate Bridge Mix is cheap enough for a bin. At the top end the Narr Tiramisu Chocolate Almonds are the one you’d wrap as a gift.
Where chocolate sits in a store matters more than people think. Coffee bars usually put the almonds and hazelnut mixes by the register. Gift companies pack the walnuts and pecans into baskets. You could sort the shelf by country since six are represented or by type so a nut-chocolate shopper finds everything in one spot. The Greek Organic Sesame Halva Five-Flavor Assortment can sit right beside it if you lean Mediterranean.
Reordering and consistency
Buying from one supplier means you can refill exactly what sold. Narr and Albanese come in the same way each time so you restock the same items instead of hunting for a stand-in. We hold the stock, subject to seasonal availability. Cooler weather suits chocolate best, so order before fall if you want the nut and gift lines full through the busy stretch.
Start your chocolate order
Open a wholesale account and pick your cases. We ship from stock. Since there’s no minimum you can try the European and American chocolate together and pay by card at checkout. Reorder the nuts and novelties that sold. Let the rest go. Everything ships within the US.
Not sure how chocolate travels in your climate or which nut line fits a coffee program? Ask us before you order and we’ll go over stock and timing. We deal with coffee bars and gift companies and gourmet grocers all the time so we can usually point you to something that fits what’s already on your shelves. And because there’s no minimum a pricey gift piece and a cheap bin filler can ride in one order until you see which one earns its spot.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the minimum order for bulk chocolate?
One case. At roughly 5 to 10 kg that’s plenty for trying a Narr nut line or a run of Maitre Truffout hot chocolate spoons. You can start with a single case so a first order doesn’t cost much while you see what sells.
Which chocolate brands do you stock?
Monardo and Maitre Truffout lead the group and Sconza and Narr follow them. Then there’s Crispo and Zaini, with Fazer and Albanese after those. They cover nuts in chocolate and dried fruit plus pralines and novelty things like the hot chocolate spoons. All of it sits in our own stock for resale buyers.
Do you carry chocolate-covered nuts and fruit?
Yes. For nuts it’s Narr’s almond and hazelnut mixes from Sweden and Albanese’s walnut chocolates from the USA. Fruit means the Milk Chocolate Dried Blueberries. Coffee bars buy these a lot. Gift baskets do too.
How do you ship chocolate in warm weather?
Chocolate hates heat so both demand and shipping lean toward the cooler months. We’d order before the fall and winter rush. Nut chocolates and hot chocolate spoons and gift pieces move hardest then, and the shelf stays full that way.
Do you have gluten-free or sugar-free chocolate?
Yes. The chocolate group has gluten-free and vegan items plus some sugar-free ones. Check the tags on each product before you order because the diet status isn’t the same from item to item or brand to brand.
Do you ship to Canada, and what payment methods do you accept?
No. We ship within the United States only. Checkout is by secure card and orders go out by the case.
