NUGBARI

This candy company founded in 2015, the title of which would be translated into English as “delicious sweets”, has a slogan: Famous Georgian Delicatessens! And they don’t lie, since Nugbari produces and sells different kinds of Churchkhela – the unique “Georgian snickers”!

BADAGI

Another candy shop – more famous in the business, offering a wider selection of Georgian Churchkhela. Prices range a little higher, but so does the quality of the product. However, taste is a very personal thing and you should definitely try both Badagi and Nugbari.
