Lebanese Food Distributor — Canada-Wide from Toronto
Levant Direct distributes the staples of a Lebanese kitchen — za'atar, halawa, ma'amoul, olive oil and the wider pantry around them — to restaurants, grocers and caterers across Canada from a Toronto-area base, on a written quotation rather than a price list. None of our ten supplier houses is based in Lebanon itself; they're rooted in Jordan, Syria, Türkiye and Egypt, and we'd rather say so plainly than let 'Lebanese' imply a claim we can't back with a producer address.
That honesty is the point. Lebanese cuisine shares almost its entire pantry with the wider Levant, and the houses behind this catalogue — a Damascus-tradition halawa press, an Amman bakery making ma'amoul to the same Damascene method, a mill grinding za'atar the way Palestinian and Jordanian producers have for generations — supply exactly the products a Lebanese menu or grocery shelf draws on every day.

What travels under a 'Lebanese' order

- Halawa — Ibrahim Srour Est., a family recipe with roots in 1936 Damascus tahini and halawa production.
- Ma'amoul — Hamdan for Foods, a bakery that began in Damascus in 1991 before building its Amman facility in 2012.
- Olive oil — Lio Food, bottled on Syria's Latakia coast.
Reported Lebanese-origin population in the Toronto area
The 2021 Census counted 25,315 people in the Toronto CMA reporting Lebanese origin — one response count among several, since Statistics Canada allows more than one origin per person, so it's a floor on community size rather than a precise headcount. That's a genuine local market on its own, but this catalogue ships Canada-wide rather than treating Toronto as its ceiling.
Ordering Canada-wide from a Toronto warehouse
Every order runs the same way regardless of where it's delivered: build a product list, send it as one inquiry, and a written quotation comes back — usually within a business day, covering every line at once. There's no separate account application; confirming your first quotation is what opens the account.
There's no single published minimum either — see is there a minimum order for wholesale Levantine goods for how that's confirmed on your specific quotation, with a single case as the usual starting point.
What we don't carry, and how we'd source it
A Lebanese pantry list also includes items we don't stock as standalone products today — tabbouleh grains like bulgur, and tahini paste itself among them. Rather than stretch a listing to cover a gap, we say so directly: both are common lines across our supplier network in Jordan, Syria, Türkiye and Egypt, and we can source them to a written quotation on request through the same inquiry process as everything else.
Buying questions, answered
Are your products made in Lebanon?
No — our ten supplier houses are rooted in Jordan, Syria, Türkiye and Egypt, and we name each producer's actual country rather than imply a Lebanese address that doesn't exist. Many of the products, like za'atar and halawa, are staples shared across the wider Levantine pantry that Lebanese cooking draws on.
Do you deliver outside Ontario?
Yes, this catalogue ships wholesale by the case Canada-wide from our Toronto-area warehouse, not only within the GTA.
Can I get a mix of Lebanese staples in one order?
Yes — a single inquiry can combine za'atar, halawa, ma'amoul, olive oil and anything else in the catalogue, and it consolidates into one written quotation and one delivery.
Is there a minimum order?
It's confirmed per product on your quotation rather than published as one fixed figure, with a single case as the practical starting point for most items.
