Didon 4g Sugar Sticks — Economy Box of 600

The 4g sugar cube is equivalent to a size 4 sugar cube (the most common size in France) by weight. Three practical differences:

• Hygiene — each log is individually wrapped in sealed paper, zero contact with other customers' hands. HACCP standard mandatory in catering.
• Dissolving speed — sugar sticks are finer (granulated) than lumps and dissolve more quickly in hot coffee (5-8 seconds vs 20-30 seconds for a lump).
• Presentation — more elegant on a tray or in the dining room, better for professional use/table service.

Didon is a French brand of 4g sugar sticks distributed in the HORECA/CHR (Cafes-Hotels-Restaurants) sector. It is positioned at a competitive price per volume for intensive professional use — cheaper than co-branded sugar sticks (Lavazza, Illy, etc.) while maintaining the same intrinsic quality of sugar (fine white sugar compliant with EU standard 2001/111/EC, HACCP hygiene packaging).

The brand is distributed wholesale by French food wholesalers (cash-alimentaire, alimex, Kyklos) and offers several formats — the 600 unit box remains the most common format at Cafemalin because it offers the best price/log ratio for intensive office use or medium catering.

Estimates based on usage:

• Office for 10 people — 15 sweet coffees/day: ~40 days.
• Office 30 people — 45 sweet coffees/day: ~13 days.
• Restaurant 100 coffees/day with 60% of customers using sweeteners: ~10 days.
• Home — 3 sweet coffees/day: ~6-7 months.

Pro recommendation: buy in packs of 2-3 boxes to save on shipping costs and avoid stockouts. For even more intensive use (bars serving 200+ coffees/day, restaurant chains), contact our B2B department for volume discounts on multi-box cartons.

Two selection criteria :

• Pure economy (Didon x600) — best price per log thanks to the XXL volume format. Choose if branding is secondary (internal office, back office, takeaway service). Ideal for heavy use.
• Brand consistency (Lavazza x200) — if you serve Lavazza coffee and would like co-branding on saucers/trays. Immediate professional signature. Ideal for visible customer service (Italian bar, restaurant, hotel).

A practical compromise : some establishments keep both brands — Lavazza x200 for visible customer service (displayed in a saucer) + Didon x600 for staff consumption in the kitchen/back office. Cost optimization and brand consistency.

At Cafemalin, the standard Didon product is classic white sugar — the most universal format for office/restaurant use. For other varieties:

• Brown sugar/cassonade log — available on quote (Saint Louis brand Brown Sugar 4g x500).
• Sweeteners (aspartame, stevia) — not in our standard catalogue, to be ordered on quote for use in dietetic catering.
• Organic sugar logs — available on request (French and German brands certified AB).
