Green Mints in Bulk

Mints turn over steadily, and they sell in more than one place. People eat them after dinner or to freshen up. They sit by the register, and they go into specialty gifts. This green mint collection is built on Italian makers, with American and Austrian and Ukrainian and Argentine pieces on top, so the 20 items feel properly international.

Mangini: The Italian Mint Catalog

Mangini from Italy is the place to start, since its range is unusually wide for one maker. Mangini Mint Sugar-Free Candy with Stevia suits shoppers who skip sugar, and it still reads as Italian import. Mangini Bye Polar Mini Mint Candy comes bagged for retail and as Italian bulk. It’s a bite-size hard mint that works in a display jar or on a peg hook.

Mangini Menta Fernet Mint and Amaro Filled Candy is the most unusual item in the Italian lineup. It’s a filled candy where peppermint meets the bitter herbal side of amaro, a staple of Italian after-dinner drinks for centuries. Specialty food shops and Italian import stores will want it. Foodservice accounts with a culinary bent will too, because it gets people interested in a way that plain candy doesn’t. Mangini Ice Menta Natural Mint Candy and Menta Piemonte Square Hard Mint are in the program. So is the Noblesse Choco Mint Dark Chocolate Bonbon, which pulls customers from two categories at once.

Sperlari: Volume Italian Mints

Sperlari handles the volume side of Italian mints. Polaris Glaciar Mint Hard Candy and Polaris Mint Hard Candy come in several bag sizes. Sperlari Mint Hard Candy comes in a standard bulk size and a large bag. These are classic Italian hard mints with a clean menthol taste. They move steadily in an import grocery candy aisle or at a register. Buyers who source Italian confections know the Sperlari name, and that helps the sell-through.

Serra, Woogie, and Specialty Formats

Serra Menta Torino Mint Candy from Italy is a Piedmont-style mint with a slightly richer base than a standard hard mint. For an import grocer building a higher-end Italian candy section, ‘Menta Torino’ (Turin mint) is a name worth telling customers about.

Woogie Fine Drops Sanded Lemon and Orange Candy Tin from Austria is part of this assortment. Lemon and orange aren’t mint flavors. They sit in the green color family though. The tin matters for specialty retail and gifts, where the pack sells the product. Austrian sanded candy tins make a premium display piece for gift-basket makers and specialty food shops.

American and International Formats

Sconza Dark Chocolate Mint Cookie Bites from the USA bring mint and chocolate together in a domestic bulk format. Koppers Giant Dark Chocolate Mint Lentils are a Denmark import. They’re big chocolate lentils with a mint filling, so the mint comes through the chocolate. They’re a premium pick-and-mix piece when you don’t want an ordinary hard mint. Roshen Mint Hard Candy from Ukraine and Arcor Honey Filled Hard Candy from Argentina finish the international spread with everyday hard candy at easy prices.

There’s one sugar-free option, Mangini’s stevia mint. It deserves its own mention for shops whose customers look for less sugar and still want the European-import feel.

Case Formats and Ordering

Cases run 1.25 to 3.53 lb a unit, and the large Sperlari bags make the heaviest ones. There are three formats, bulk loose and bagged retail and tins. Woogie tins weigh the most, and we’d position them as gifts. There’s no minimum order. A sugar-free item is available. Approved accounts get account pricing, and we ship within the US.

Retail Applications for Green Mints

Green mints fit several kinds of shop. In a regular candy aisle, Sperlari Polaris Mint Hard Candy Bags are shelf-ready and sit alongside mainstream Italian candy. In a pick-and-mix wall, Mangini Bye Polar Mini Mint Candies make a great scoop-bin item, small and uniform and clearly green with a bright mint taste. Woogie Fine Drops Sanded tins belong in gift baskets. And a specialty food shop with a natural or functional-food section can offer Mangini’s Stevia Mint and Mangini Ice Menta Natural Mint Candy to shoppers who want an Italian mint without artificial sweeteners.

Mangini as a Program Brand

What makes Mangini so useful here is how much one brand covers. You could build a full Mangini mint section from its range alone. There’s the stevia sugar-free mint and a mini honey one, plus lemon-ginger and the standard mini mint. The amaro-mint filled candy, natural mint and Piemonte square join them. Choco Mint dark chocolate bonbon finishes the set. That’s a lot of flavors and formats from one Italian producer with a steady brand look. If you’ve never carried Italian hard candy imports, Mangini is an easy way in. The brand has a big catalog and the flavors stay consistent, so customers who find a favorite keep buying it.

Import Grocery and Natural Food Retail: Two Distinct Channels

Import grocery and natural food shops use green mints differently. In an import grocery, Italian origin is the main draw. Mangini and Sperlari are names that tell customers it’s authentic. In a natural food shop, the sugar-free Stevia Mint and the natural Ice Menta match what those shoppers look for. Buy for both channels from a single order and you get items placed for each, so you don’t have to source them separately. Cases ship 1.25 to 3.53 lb depending on format. Approved accounts get account pricing. Delivery stays within the US.
