Wholesale Italian Baked Goods & Snacks
Italian baked goods and snacks here means grissini breadsticks and crackers and filled cookies, plus pesto-style antipasti jars. Maitre Truffout and Monardo are among the brands. Delis and Italian grocers and gift basket shops buy it by the case to fill out a snack or antipasti section, at $28 to $70.20 a case.
Grissini and crackers and filled cookies are the backbone of these 18 SKUs. It leans on the savory side of the Italian pantry about as much as on the sweet side that fills most candy wholesale lists.
Savory Staples: Grissini and Crackers
Breadsticks show up in a few formats. Grissini Breadsticks With Onions and Grissini Breadsticks Plain come in a 4x100g case, and Italian Grissini with Multi Seeds is the heartier one. Crackers Oregano Tomato is packed 12/250g and Italian Crackers with Salt is the plainer partner. These are pantry and antipasti-table items as much as snack-aisle ones, so you’ve got more places to put them on a shelf.
Sweet Additions and Antipasti Jars
It’s not all savory. Cornellis Solare Italiano Lemon Cookies w/ Lemon Filling and the Choco Cookies w/ Choco Filling bring in filled cookies, both in 150g boxes. Piacelli Sfogliatine Glassate is a glazed puff pastry in a 200gx20 case. For antipasti you’ve got Antipasti Pesto With Tomatoes (pesto rosso) and Antipasti Pesto With Basil (pesto verde), both 190g jars, shelf-stable and a natural match for the breadsticks and crackers on an antipasti-table display.
Brands in This Category
Maitre Truffout and Monardo are the two named brands. Piacelli and SO Piacelli items show up in the Cantuccini and Amarettini lines. SO Piacelli Cantuccini 175g x 12 and SO Piacelli Amarettini 200g x 10 are old Italian biscuit formats that suit coffee-shop and gift-basket resale.
Piacelli and SO Piacelli keep turning up through the biscuit and pastry side too. That gives you a second familiar name next to the two main brands, so you don’t need a separate supplier just for biscuits.
Shelf life and handling vary across the three main formats. Grissini and crackers, like Grissini Breadsticks Plain 4x100g and Crackers Oregano Tomato 12/250g, are dry baked goods with a long shelf window and need nothing special beyond a dry stockroom shelf. The pesto jars, Antipasti Pesto With Tomatoes and Antipasti Pesto With Basil, keep unopened but like to stay out of direct heat. The filled cookies, Cornellis Solare Italiano Lemon and Choco Cookies, do best moving through inventory at a normal pace, so don’t let a case sit once you’ve opened it for display sampling.
Who Buys This Category Wholesale
Most buyers are building a bigger Italian or European section and not a standalone snack aisle.
- Italian delis and specialty grocers stocking grissini and crackers and pesto jars together
- Gift basket and hamper businesses using cookies and biscuits like Cantuccini and Amarettini
- Cafes pairing Amarettini or Cantuccini with coffee service
- Event and catering suppliers building antipasti tables around the pesto and grissini
Breadsticks with pesto and biscuits with coffee go together on their own, so this category often sells better as a shelf set than as scattered single SKUs.
Grissini and pesto and biscuits go together, so we’d merchandise them as an antipasti or gifting set and not spread them over separate shelf sections. A deli or gift-basket business could build a display around Grissini Breadsticks with Onions and Antipasti Pesto With Basil. Add SO Piacelli Cantuccini or Amarettini as the sweet finish. Customers get an appetizer-to-dessert story from one supplier and you don’t have to piece it together from several Italian lines.
Pricing and Ordering
Cases run from $28 to $70.20. Jarred and boxed cookie items sit toward the middle and multi-unit cases like Piacelli Sfogliatine 200gx20 land near the top. You order online with secure card checkout. Approved wholesale accounts see account pricing and larger volumes go through a quote. There’s no minimum across the 18 SKUs.
A practical first order pairs a grissini line with one pesto jar and one biscuit item. That’s enough for a small antipasti display, and you learn which format your customers go for first.
Format size shapes a first order too. Piacelli Sfogliatine Glassate ships 200g x 20, a bigger multi-unit case that suits higher-volume accounts. The Cornellis cookie boxes and the pesto jars are single-unit cases, easier for a small specialty shop testing things out. Case sizes differ a lot across 18 SKUs, so ask for a quote that spells out unit count next to price. Then you can compare real per-unit cost across grissini and crackers and cookies and pesto before reordering big.
Gift-basket makers get a lot out of the mix of boxes and jars, since the Cornellis cookie boxes and the Cantuccini and Amarettini bags and the pesto jars all pack together in one themed hamper without outside packaging to tie it together.
