Holland Red Candy Wholesale & Bulk

Dutch candy has a character all its own. The gummies are denser and more intensely flavored than their American equivalents; the licorice is chewy and distinct; the fruit-sour combinations lean harder on tartness without losing the fruit identity. Holland red candy covers the vivid-fruit and berry end of the Dutch confection spectrum — the reds, pinks, and berry flavors that are among the most consistent sellers in any bulk candy program. The lineup draws from Holland licorice tradition as well as the Holland gummies and jellies category, with nine SKUs from Gustaf and Gerrit covering rolled licorice, gummy shapes, and berry-flavored bulk items across a weight range of 1.5 to 18.65 lb per unit.

The Gerrit rolled candy items are among the most distinctive in the lineup. The Gerrit Broadway on Wheels Strawberry Rolled Candy is a flat, rolled-candy format — a sheet of strawberry candy rolled into a spiral, similar in concept to a fruit roll but with a firmer, more confection-like texture. These are unusual in the bulk candy aisle and draw customer attention precisely because of the format; shoppers who have not seen rolled candy before often stop and ask about it, which converts to sales. The Gerrit Broadway Strawberry Licorice Rolls are the Dutch-twist version: rolled licorice in strawberry flavor, combining the Dutch licorice tradition with a berry-forward flavor that appeals to shoppers who enjoy licorice but want a softer, fruitier expression. Both Gerrit Broadway items work well in self-serve bulk bins and generate impulse purchase behavior from their visual novelty.

The Gustaf gummy line covers multiple red and berry formats. The Gustaf Red and Black Raspberry Gummies Classic Berry from Holland is a mixed gummy item — red raspberry and black raspberry pieces together in a bulk bag, offering two flavor notes in a single SKU. This is a strong seller for buyers who want red-fruit gummies without committing to a single flavor. The Gustaf Raspberry Gummi Pigs from Holland are raspberry-flavored pig-shaped gummies, a format that has consistent appeal across age groups because the animal shape is universally recognized and the pig format in gummy candy is a European classic. The Gustaf Red Berry Beagles from Holland are dog-shaped gummies in a red berry flavor, providing format variety within the red-berry gummy sub-category without flavor redundancy.

The Gustaf strawberry licorice item brings the licorice dimension to the red side of the lineup. The Gustaf Strawberry Tire Track Licorice from Holland is a flat, tire-tread-patterned licorice strip in strawberry flavor — an item with a distinctive shape that stands out in a bulk bin and that combines the Dutch licorice tradition with a fruit flavor accessible to shoppers who find plain black licorice too intense. This format is popular in import delis and European candy shops, where the novelty shape drives conversation and sampling.

The Gustaf Blue Raspberry Gummi Dolphins provide a blue-raspberry note within a largely red-and-berry lineup, giving buyers a slight flavor extension without leaving the berry category. Blue raspberry is a strongly recognizable flavor, and the dolphin shape appeals to children and adult shoppers who enjoy novelty gummy formats. The Gustaf Mini Blue Raspberry Soda Bottle Gummies Sour-Dusted round out the lineup with a sour-coated format: small soda bottle-shaped gummies with a sour dust coating that creates a tart-sweet experience. Sour gummies are among the fastest-turning bulk candy categories in the US market, and a Dutch-import sour gummy has the dual advantage of familiar flavor with a distinct imported quality.

The Gerrit Pink Cadillacs Gummies Natural Mixed Berry from Holland bridge the red and pink zones of the spectrum, offering a mixed-berry flavor in a car-shaped gummy that is both visually interesting and flavor-versatile. Natural mixed berry reads across a wide demographic because it is neither single-note sweet nor aggressively sour, making it a safe choice for buyers who want high-volume bulk candy with broad appeal.

The weight range for this line is notably wide: 1.5 lb at the lower end for individual bagged items, up to 18.65 lb for the largest bulk format. The Gustaf and Gerrit bulk items at the high end of that weight range are designed for high-volume self-serve operations — large candy shops, delis with substantial bulk candy sections, or warehouse-style specialty food retailers. The 18.65 lb format reduces per-unit cost for buyers who can move volume quickly. Cases fall in the standard 5 to 10 kg range for the mid-weight items; the jumbo bulk formats may ship in larger configurations. One-case minimum applies, net terms available for qualifying accounts, shipping covers both the US and Canada. Import grocers serving Dutch, Dutch-American, or broadly Northern European communities find the Gustaf and Gerrit lines a natural complement to their Dutch food sections — Dutch cheese, Dutch biscuits, Dutch stroopwafel — extended into candy. Specialty candy shops building a European bulk candy wall find the red-berry gummy and licorice formats from Holland among their most reliable bulk sellers. Gift-basket programs use the bagged formats as lightweight red-fruit additions to mixed-European candy baskets. C-store operators testing a European candy section can lead with two or three Gustaf gummy items — raspberry pigs, red berry beagles, and sour soda bottles — as a low-risk, high-appeal entry into Dutch import candy. Storage: cool, dry, away from humidity; gummy candy softens in high-heat environments, so climate control matters more for this category than for hard candy.

Buyers who have not previously stocked Dutch candy should know that the Gustaf and Gerrit brands together represent a solid introduction to the Dutch bulk candy tradition without requiring the buyer to navigate an unfamiliar brand roster. Both brands are established Dutch candy producers, both sell well in European import sections, and their formats — gummies, licorice strips, rolled candy — are familiar enough to North American shoppers that the impulse to try them is low-friction. The novelty is in the flavor quality and the origin, not in the format itself, which makes Dutch candy an easier introduction to European import confection than, say, Nordic salty licorice. Start with the Gustaf Raspberry Gummi Pigs and the Gerrit Broadway Strawberry Rolled Candy as your two visual anchors — one recognizable animal-shape gummy, one novel format item — and build outward as the section establishes velocity. The sour soda bottle gummies appeal to the same shoppers who buy domestic sour gummies, and the strawberry tire track licorice captures the licorice buyer who wants a fruit-forward option. Combined, these four items cover impulse gummies, novelty formats, sour candy, and fruit licorice from a single Dutch import source. One-case minimum, net terms, US and Canada shipping.
