The product line

Pistachio-kadayif chocolate, made to order for US importers

Dubai-style chocolate wholesale for the United States is what we do from our factory in the Başpınar Organised Industrial Zone in Gaziantep, Türkiye. The core product is a filled bar with a milk or dark chocolate shell and a filling of pistachio cream and crisp kadayif. We also make pistachio-filled tablets. We sell to US importers, distributors and retailers only, not to consumers.

Bar weights run from 60 g to 200 g. Each bar is individually wrapped and packed in cartons built for retail shelves, so product can go from the container to the shelf without repacking. Because the lines are produced to order, you can set the bar weight, the chocolate type and the pack format with us before production starts.

A note on naming: the label may say 'Dubai-style' or 'pistachio kadayif chocolate'. This describes the style of the product. It is not a geographic origin claim, and the pack does not state that the product was made in Dubai. The product is made in Türkiye.
