Turkish chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight and wholesale sweets for importers in Ireland
One mixed container from Gaziantep, Türkiye, to Dublin or Cork: chocolate, dragées for wedding favours, Turkish delight, sweets for the cash and carry trade and pistachio products. Written offer in US dollars within two working days of your list.
One container, every line, from Gaziantep.
We quote for Irish food importers and distributors, for the cash and carry and confectionery wholesalers Ireland sweet shops, forecourts and convenience stores buy from, for the wholesale sweets Ireland and pick n mix wholesale Ireland trade, for wedding favour companies buying sugared almonds by the carton, and for brands that want chocolate, dragées or Turkish delight made under their own name. If you are looking for chocolate wholesale Ireland can price by the carton, the chocolate suppliers Ireland importers buy from, bulk sweets Ireland distributors work with, the Turkish delight Ireland shoppers search for, the Dubai chocolate Ireland has searched for more than any other bar, or the pistachio chocolate Ireland delicatessens ask for, this is what we quote for. The unit of sale is one full container, mixed across as many lines as you like.
Everything on this site is made in Gaziantep, in our own factory. That is what lets one container carry five product groups, and lets us check a lot before it is packed and photograph the pallets before the doors close.
We supply direct from our own factory in Gaziantep, the city we work in.

What stays the same on every offer.
Rates and rules change; the quotation states what applies on the day. These points do not change.
- Label
- An English label to the EU food information rules: the ingredient list with allergens emphasised, the nutrition declaration per 100 g, metric net quantity, the best before date and the name and EU address of the food business responsible for the product. For private label we prepare the label content to those rules and check your artwork against it before anything is printed.
- Customs
- Ireland is in the EU, and Türkiye and the EU are in a customs union: chocolate and confectionery travel with an A.TR movement certificate, and the offer states the tariff line for each product and what applies to its agricultural component on the day, so the landed cost is known before you order.
- Food business registration and dairy
- The importer is registered as a food business with the food safety authority. Where a line contains dairy, as milk chocolate does, the EU rules for composite products apply and the attestation the entry needs is drawn up from our documents; which lines that touches is stated in the offer.
- Turkish delight in Ireland
- Irish searches for Turkish delight point at three things: the rose-flavoured chocolate bar sold in every shop, a heritage maker in Cork with its own following, and the real starch-set lokum from Türkiye. Boxed Turkish delight from Gaziantep, the pistachio roll and chocolate covered lokum are on the Turkish delight page; plain lines travel dry all year. We do not name the local makers; the trade knows them.
- Wholesale sweets and pick n mix
- Wholesale sweets Ireland, bulk sweets Ireland, pick n mix wholesale, halal sweets: the Irish trade uses the same words as the UK, and the Turkish lines that fit it are jellies, popping candy, wrapped mini biscuits, sugared almonds, chocolate dragées and bulk Turkish delight. Case weight per line and wrapped or loose formats are stated in the offer.
- Dubai chocolate, from Türkiye
- The pistachio and kadayif bar Ireland searched for is made in Gaziantep too, where the pistachio grows and the kadayif is made, in retail and gift formats in our standard packs or under your brand; pistachio cream in jars travels with it.
- Wedding favours
- Sugared almonds by colour, chocolate dragées in milk and dark, one colour per carton or mixed, for the wedding favour and party trade; case weight per line in the offer.
- Turkish chocolate brands
- Most lines are available in our standard packs, so an importer can start without artwork; on selected lines the same products can be made under your own name.
- Route
- Sea freight from Mersin to Dublin or Cork, with the port and the delivery term, FCA Gaziantep, FOB Mersin, CIF or DAP, stated in the offer; a road trailer through Europe is quoted on request. Chocolate and chocolate-coated lines are quoted in a reefer for the warm months; Turkish delight, sugared almonds and jellies travel dry.
- Currency and payment
- Offers in US dollars. Bank transfer only: 50% with the order, 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs.
- Sourced on request
- Outside the core range we buy in what your list needs and load it in the same container: baklava from Gaziantep, sugar free Turkish delight, bulk pistachio nuts, nuts and dried fruit in bulk, halva, instant coffee and spices.
Private label chocolate and confectionery for Irish brands
Looking for a private label chocolate manufacturer outside Ireland, or an own-brand sweets or Turkish delight range?

What paperwork does a container from Türkiye need in Ireland?
The commercial documents, the A.TR movement certificate under the EU–Türkiye customs union, our technical data sheet and certificates per line, and for lines with dairy the composite-product attestation drawn up from our documents. The offer lists what travels with the container.
Is the Turkish delight the real lokum?
Yes: starch-set lokum made in Gaziantep, dusted cubes and the pistachio roll. The chocolate bar that borrowed the name is a British confection; a bar format is sourced on request.
Can you make our own brand for the Irish market?
Yes — private label is one of our core services. We prepare the label content to the EU rules, you approve the artwork in writing, and the minimum per line is stated in the offer.
