Chiko: Sweetening the Arabian Gulf Since 1990

May 2026 • Brand Heritage Chiko: Sweetening the Arabian Gulf Since 1990

In the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) landscape of the Middle East, few brands hold the nostalgic value of CHIKO. Sweetening homes and childhoods since 1990, the classic Chiko caramel eclair with a rich chocolate center remains a staple of Omani confectionery manufacturing. Distributed across the GCC by Sweets of Oman, the brand continues to adapt to contemporary tastes while maintaining the recipes that built its success.

Beyond the signature Eclair bags, Chiko has successfully expanded its footprint into modern formats. The Chiko Belgian-style Cigar Rolls (combining wafer rolls with hazelnut and vanilla creams) and Chiko Chocosticks are major drivers of volume in hypermarket confectionery aisles.

"Nostalgia combined with consistent ingredient quality is a powerful formula. Chiko remains a beloved brand because it tastes exactly the way families remember it, year after year."

As we integrate Chiko alongside modern premium brands like NAQKO, Sweets of Oman Trading LLC continues to honor this heritage, ensuring classic wrappers and bulk bags remain available to wholesalers, grocery chains, and bulk buyers across the Gulf.
