Do you sell grissini breadsticks in bulk?

By the Levant Direct team · Published July 31, 2026

We don't stock Italian-style grissini specifically — what we carry is Hamdan's Classic Breadsticks, a Damascus-style breadstick (ka'ak al-Sham) that fills a very similar role on a cheese board, bread basket or snack shelf, sold by the carton. If 'grissini' is being used loosely for a crisp, bread-stick-shaped snack rather than the specific Italian product and recipe, our range is very likely the bulk option that actually answers your search.

If genuine Italian grissini by name and recipe is the hard requirement, we'd rather say so plainly than blur the two products together — that honesty is worth more upfront than a substitution a menu or shelf didn't actually ask for.

Grissini vs Damascus-style ka'ak breadsticks — what's actually different

Italian grissini are a thin, yeasted dough rolled long and baked crisp, often finished with olive oil, salt or herbs, traditionally served loose in tall bundles or jars at the table. Hamdan's Damascus-style breadsticks (ka'ak al-Sham) are a different tradition entirely — a semolina-leaning dough shaped and baked with a range of coatings and flavourings, from sesame to thyme to nigella sativa, and sold in carton or plastic-bag packaging.

The two aren't the same recipe or tradition, but functionally, both are crisp, snackable bread sticks or rings that work well alongside cheese, dips or a bread basket — which is exactly why a buyer searching 'grissini' for that use case is often served well by the Levantine version, even though the name is different.

Our breadstick range, by the carton

The full range spans six flavours from Hamdan for Foods: Classic, Sesame, Thyme, Nigella Sativa, Anis and Bran, each sold in carton packaging (and most also available in a plastic-bag pack). See our full breadstick carton range for item numbers and format details across all six.

Where these fit at foodservice or retail

A carton of any of the six flavours works on a cheese and grazing board the same way grissini would — crisp, neutral-to-savoury, and sturdy enough to hold up next to dips and spreads. For retail, the same cartons stock a snack shelf alongside other Levantine pantry lines, and the flavoured varieties (sesame, thyme, nigella sativa) give a grocer more shelf variety than a single plain grissini SKU typically would.

A restaurant plating them alongside dips, spreads or a cheese selection generally does better breaking a carton across two or three flavours rather than serving one plain variety throughout, since the flavour range does some of the visual and taste-variety work that a single grissini SKU can't.

If genuine Italian grissini is the hard requirement

Grissini specifically, as an Italian product and recipe, sits outside our Levantine and Anatolian supplier network, and we don't currently source it. If your menu or brand specifically needs the Italian product by name, that's worth noting so we don't quote a substitute you didn't ask for — our Damascus-style range remains available as a genuine alternative for the same use case.

Trying the substitute before committing to volume

For a buyer weighing whether the Damascus-style range genuinely covers the same use case as grissini, ordering a single carton of Classic or Sesame first is a reasonable way to test it against your specific menu or shelf before scaling into a larger, mixed-flavour bulk order. That's a smaller commitment than committing to a full carton range across all six flavours up front, and it gives you a direct comparison to whatever your grissini benchmark has been.

If the texture and format work for your purposes, expanding into thyme, nigella sativa, anis and bran from the same supplier is a straightforward next step rather than a separate sourcing exercise.
