Wholesale German Marzipan & Nougat

This is a small corner of the catalog. Seven items from three brands, cases between 0.73 and 2.31 lb, in bars and tins plus bags and bulk. It won’t be your biggest seller. But if you want real German marzipan made from almond paste, these are the pieces we’d pick. Mozart-style nougat sits right beside it.

Maitre Truffout marzipan: the core of the range

Maitre Truffout does most of the marzipan. The Marzipan Bar with Dark Chocolate (175g) is the big one, a thick bar of marzipan in dark chocolate, Lübeck style. At 175g it’s heavy enough to sell as a gift on its own. The Marzipan-Nougat Milk Chocolate Bar (75g) puts both fillings in one milk chocolate bar, and you can buy it as a single bar or in a 10-piece display. Then the Mozart Kugeln Marzipan Balls, small and round with marzipan, nougat and chocolate in layers. That’s a format people tie to Austria and Germany.

Maitre Truffout also makes the Alps Honey Nougat Almond Bar, which isn’t marzipan at all. It’s softer and chewier, with honey and almonds under a chocolate coat. If you’d like marzipan and nougat from one brand, this covers the nougat half.

Woogie Mozart nougat drops

Woogie’s Mozart Nougat & Pistachio Filled Candy Drops Tin comes in a collectible-style tin. Woogie makes its Fine Drops hard candy tins in both Austria and Germany, and this one gets the same tin treatment with nougat inside. Gift shops and specialty food counters should find it an easy sell.

Only cocoa-dusted marzipan potatoes

Only Cocoa-Dusted Marzipan Potatoes (100g bag) are the traditional German ‘marzipan potatoes’. Little rounds of marzipan are rolled in cocoa so they look like tiny potatoes. Germans eat them mostly in autumn and winter. The cocoa outside is a touch bitter against the sweet almond paste inside. A European confection section gets a familiar item out of the bag.

Formats and display options

You get four formats here. There are Maitre Truffout bars and a Woogie tin. Only’s potatoes come bagged. Some Maitre Truffout items come in bulk. That lets you spread the category around a shop, with bars and tins by the register or in the gift section, bulk for self-serve and bags on the shelf.

Who buys German marzipan and nougat wholesale

• European specialty food importers would expect German marzipan and Mozart Kugeln-style pieces in a European confection section.
• Gift shops and holiday gift stores can use marzipan bars and Mozart balls plus nougat tins, all classic European holiday gifts.
• Specialty food stores with a German or Austrian section already know Maitre Truffout and Woogie as European producers.
• Bakery and pastry accounts can use marzipan in the kitchen as well as on a display.

German marzipan for holiday and seasonal retail

Marzipan peaks around the holidays. The Mozart Kugeln, the bars and the marzipan potatoes are all Christmas and Advent candy in Europe. If your Q4 is busy, you’ll want German marzipan on the shelf from late October through December. The 175g dark chocolate bar is big enough that people buy it as a present by itself, and the round Mozart balls look like European holiday sweets even to customers who’ve never heard the brand.

The Woogie tin is gift-ready all year, not only at the holidays. If you sell seasonal European sweets, put your German marzipan and nougat section together before the holiday rush starts. It needs very little promotion, since people looking for marzipan will find it themselves.

What serious marzipan buyers look for

Anyone who buys European marzipan on purpose is after a clean almond taste and something made in the traditional way. Maitre Truffout’s marzipan fits that, and the price works for a specialty shop. Only’s marzipan potatoes are more casual and fun. They make a cheaper first step for customers who are curious about German marzipan but aren’t ready for the premium bar.

German marzipan for bakery and pastry accounts

Bakers and pastry cooks use marzipan too. It covers cakes and fills pastries, and some of them model small decorations from it. For a bakery or foodservice account, Maitre Truffout marzipan bars by the case are a practical way to get European marzipan. The dark chocolate bar is simple to portion. If you serve both retail and kitchen customers, having it on hand adds something to your catalog.
