Sesame breadsticks wholesale: Levantine ka'ak-style breadsticks by the carton

What sesame breadsticks are

These are a thin, dry-baked breadstick in the ka'ak al-sham tradition rather than an Italian grissini — denser bite, more sesame coverage, and built to hold up in a basket or a jar without going soft over the course of a service. The dough is rolled into long, narrow sticks, coated heavily in sesame before baking, and dried to a snap rather than left soft in the middle, which is what gives the finished product its long shelf life without needing any special packaging beyond a sealed carton.

Hamdan for Foods, the producer, traces its own baking line back to a Damascus bakery before relocating production to Amman and exporting from there since 2009. The sesame version is one of six breadstick flavours in the Hamdan range we carry — the others run thyme, nigella sativa, anise and bran alongside a plain classic — but sesame is consistently the anchor flavour for buyers building their first breadstick order, and usually the one a new account orders the largest volume of.

The carton format we stock

Sesame Breadsticks (Item #61102) ships by the carton. Case and carton counts, and any combination with the other five flavours in the range, are confirmed on your written quotation — send the mix and quantities you want and we'll return one price covering the full order. Because the product is fully dried before packing, there's no cold-chain requirement, which keeps a first order simple: it's mostly a question of carton count, flavour split, and delivery point.

One allergen point worth flagging before you stock it

Sesame is a priority food allergen in Canada, meaning it carries the same labelling attention as peanuts, tree nuts or shellfish under Canadian food-allergen rules. That matters for any operator handling a sesame-coated product in a shared kitchen or alongside other packaged goods: it needs to be stored, labelled and communicated to staff and customers the way any priority allergen would be, and it's worth a quick word with front-of-house staff so they know to flag it when asked.

This is general guidance, not a food-safety determination for your specific operation — confirm your labelling and cross-contact obligations with the CFIA or your local health authority before service, particularly if you're repacking, portioning, or serving the product alongside other menu items in a shared prep space.

Who buys sesame breadsticks wholesale

Restaurants and cafés use them in bread baskets and on cheese and grazing boards, where the sesame crunch pairs naturally with soft cheeses, olives and dips — a pairing that's driven a fair amount of the recent uptick in orders from non-Middle Eastern restaurants building charcuterie-style menus. Grocers stock the carton on the snack shelf next to other Levantine dry goods, usually alongside the thyme and classic flavours. Catering and hospitality buyers like the format because it's shelf-stable and needs no prep beyond opening the carton, which suits a buffet or grazing table set up in advance.

Ordering the carton and building a flavour mix

Most buyers don't order sesame alone — it's the anchor of a mixed carton order that usually includes thyme and classic as the second and third most popular flavours, with nigella sativa, anise and bran ordered in smaller volume for variety on a fuller snack shelf. Sending the full flavour split on one inquiry, rather than ordering sesame first and adding the rest later, tends to quote faster and consolidates delivery to a single drop.

Being a dry, sealed carton with no cold-chain requirement, breadsticks are an easy add to almost any existing inquiry — restaurants already ordering spices or olives from us often add a breadstick carton to the same order rather than placing it separately, since it doesn't change the delivery logistics of the rest of the shipment, and the long shelf life means there's no risk in carrying a slightly larger first order while you find your reorder rhythm.
