Turkish chocolate, dragées, Turkish delight and confectionery for importers in Malta
One mixed container from Gaziantep, Türkiye, to Malta, under the customs union paperwork: chocolate for the supermarket and the tourist shelf, perlini and dragées for the wedding trade, Turkish delight, wrapped sweets for the festa stalls and pistachio products. Written offer in US dollars within two working days of your list.
One container, every line, from Gaziantep.
We quote for Maltese food importers and distributors, for the wholesalers that supply supermarkets, confectioners and the village shops of Malta and Gozo by the carton, for the hotel and tourist-shop suppliers of Valletta, Sliema and St Julian’s, for the wedding trade that dresses tables with perlini, and for brands that want chocolate, dragées or Turkish delight made under their own name. If you are looking for chocolate wholesale Malta can price by the carton, chocolate suppliers Malta or chocolate importers Malta that carry Turkish lines, the Dubai chocolate Malta has searched for, Turkish delight Malta for the gift shelf, sugared almonds Malta and perlini by the carton, or wholesale sweets Malta for the festa season, 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.
- Food importers and distributors that supply the supermarkets, confectioners and village shops of Malta and Gozo
- Hotel, tourist-shop and duty-free suppliers that stock the shelf a visitor buys from
- The wedding trade and brands buying perlini, sugared almonds and dragées by the carton, or wanting a line made under their own name
Six lines, mixed to your list.

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, with Maltese alongside if you want it: 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 union
- Malta 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. Nothing about duty is printed on this site, because it changes.
- 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.
- Perlini and the wedding trade
- Malta dresses its weddings with perlini, and the confectioners and favour companies that do it buy sugared almonds by colour, chocolate dragées in milk, dark and white and coated nuts, one colour per carton or mixed, in the whites, ivories and pastels the trade asks for. Case weight per line in the offer; the dragée page lists the groups, and the colours can be run to your own palette on selected lines.
- A small island, a mixed container
- A container is a large unit for an island this size, which is why the container is mixed, five product groups on one order, each on its own pallet, so an importer does not have to move a full load of one line; and it is why the tourist shelf, the supermarket, the festa stall and the wedding trade can share one container.
- Dubai chocolate, from Türkiye
- The pistachio and kadayif bar Malta 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, for the supermarket and the tourist shelf; pistachio cream in jars travels with it.
- Turkish delight and the festa stalls
- Boxed Turkish delight from Gaziantep, the pistachio roll and chocolate covered lokum for the confectioner, the tourist shop and the supermarket; the Turkish delight page lists the groups, and plain lines travel dry. Wholesale sweets Malta: the festa season and the village stalls buy wrapped sweets, jellies and coated nuts by the carton, and the confectionery page lists the lines that fit.
- 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 Malta, with the port, the delivery term, FCA Gaziantep, FOB Mersin, CIF or DAP, and the transit stated in the offer; a road trailer through Europe with the ferry from Italy 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 Maltese brands
Looking for a private label chocolate manufacturer outside Malta, an own-brand perlini line in your colours, or a Turkish delight box for the tourist shelf? We put our own lines under your name: tablets, bars, dragées in doypacks, gift boxes, Turkish delight boxes and jars, with the label content prepared to the EU rules and nothing printed before you approve it.
Private label for Maltese brands →Asked before the first list.
Do you work with importers in Malta?
We quote for food importers, distributors, wholesalers, hotel and tourist-shop suppliers, the wedding trade and private-label brands in Malta. Send the product references, the quantities you have in mind and whether you want the container by sea or by road; the written offer follows within two working days.
Is there duty on chocolate from Türkiye into Malta?
The goods travel under the EU–Türkiye customs union with an A.TR certificate; what applies to the agricultural component on the day is stated in the offer, not on this site.
Is a container too much for Malta?
The container is mixed across five product groups and as many lines as you like, each on its own pallet, so a first order does not need to be one product in bulk; the minimum per line is in the offer.
Can perlini come in our colours?
Yes, on selected lines: we run the colours you name and the cartons or boxes carry your brand. The minimum per colour is stated in the offer.
Can you make our own brand for the Maltese 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.
What is the minimum order?
One full container, 20 ft or 40 ft, mixed across the lines you choose. The minimum per line is written into the offer.
Is Antep Foods a chocolate manufacturer in Türkiye?
Yes. Antep Foods is a manufacturer and exporter in Gaziantep, exporting since 2002. Production takes place in our own factory; certificates and data sheets are issued for our factory. Wholesale only; prices come in a written offer, not on the site.
Send the list. We do the rest.
Send your product list with approximate quantities and the destination port. You get one offer covering every line, then one container, loaded and photographed before the doors close.
