Sperlari Italy Candy Wholesale & Bulk

Sperlari Italy Candy Wholesale & Bulk

Cremona is where Sperlari comes from, and Italian-American shoppers and European food fans tend to know the name. Anyone who has walked an Italian candy aisle will recognize it. Our Sperlari Italy candy wholesale list has 13 SKUs in bagged and bulk formats. Case weights run about 1.54 to 3.53 lb. It covers mint and anise and licorice-filled candy, plus citrus and menthol-eucalyptus and assorted mixes.

Begin with Sperlari Gran Misto Assorted Hard Candy Italian. It’s the one to build an Italian import candy program around. Picture a dish by the register at an Italian bar, or a bowl in a grandmother’s living room. That’s Gran Misto. It does fine in a self-serve bulk display and in a pre-bagged pack, and the Sperlari name does half the selling when your customers are Italian-American or European. The bagged version here comes retail-ready, so nothing needs portioning.

Mint is the deepest part of the range. We list the Sperlari Polaris Glaciar Mint Hard Candy Bag and the Sperlari Polaris Glaciar Mint Hard Candy Italian Bags. There’s also the Sperlari Mint Hard Candy Large Bag Italian Mints, along with Sperlari Mint Hard Candy Italian Bulk Mints and Sperlari Polaris Mint Hard Candy Italian Bulk Mints. That overlap is a plus. If bags outsell bulk one month and the reverse the next, you aren’t stuck with one SKU. You can stock both and serve a shelf and a self-serve bin from one brand. Mints sell everywhere. C-stores keep them by the register and restaurants hand them out with the check. Hotels use them in lobby dishes.

Anise is a smaller niche, but its fans are loyal. Sperlari Anise Hard Candy Bag Italian Retail Pack and Sperlari Anise Hard Candy Italian Bulk Candy suit Italian-American specialty shops and Mediterranean grocers. Some shoppers with Southern Italian or Sicilian roots grew up on anise sweets like sambuca and anisette. They don’t need to be sold. They see the Sperlari bag and reach for it. A small shelf card with the Italian word helps, though most know already.

The Sperlari Club Classic Menthol Eucalyptus Hard Candy is a strong, cool-tasting candy that does well when the weather turns cold. Convenience stores in colder places will want it in steady stock. It pairs with herbal or botanical candy from other European brands, if you carry any. We’d put a few bags near the register in November and leave them there through winter.

Then Sperlari Lyzia Licorice Filled Hard Candy Italian, a hard shell with soft licorice inside. It’s an old Southern European style. People who buy Italian licorice other ways will try it. Hard-candy lovers and licorice fans both seem to like the texture. Stock it beside the anise and you have two old-school flavors in one spot.

Sperlari Gran Gelees Fruit Gellies Assortment Italian is a change of pace. They’re Italian fruit jellies, softer than hard candy. The Italian gelée style is pectin-based and fruity, and it eats nothing like an American gummy. An import food buyer who wants an Italian alternative to gummies should look here. We’d put it near the licorice if you have a licorice section.

Two more finish the program: Sperlari Ultra Caramelle Misto Premium Candy Mix Italy and Sperlari Orange and Lemon Hard Candy Bag Italian. Orange and lemon is a safe seller at an import grocer. It’s clean and familiar, and it’s a lighter choice than the mint and licorice lines. Citrus tends to sell better in summer. Order a case of each and see which one empties first.

Case weights of 1.54 to 3.53 lb reflect bagged retail packs and bulk together. The heavy cases are the bulk mints, the ones you pour into display jars or bins. Lighter cases are single retail bags, ready for a shelf or floor display. If you stock mint in both formats, one brand serves your confectionery shelf and your bulk candy section. Check the case weight on the product page before you order, since a bulk mint case and a bagged one differ a lot.

For gift baskets, Gran Misto and Gran Gelees look best. They sit nicely beside olive oil and pasta in an Italian food basket. C-stores will probably sell the mint and menthol-eucalyptus more than anything else. Specialty delis and import shops might use the anise and licorice-filled and citrus ones, since domestic candy brands don’t cover those well. Mixed baskets are where Sperlari tends to surprise people, because the packaging looks right at home next to imported pasta.

There’s no minimum order, and approved accounts get account pricing. We ship to US addresses. In towns with strong Italian communities your customers may already know the range.
