Wholesale catalogue
Olives & Pickles Wholesale — Toronto & the GTA
Levant Direct quotes olives wholesale to Toronto delis, mezze bars, caterers and grocers by the case — Zer's vacuum-packed and tinned black and green olives, grown in Türkiye's Aegean groves, alongside Lio's jarred Salkini green olives and capers from Syria, all through one inquiry with the rest of a pantry order.
Pickles themselves aren't yet a standalone line in our visible catalogue. Ask for them on your inquiry and we'll source them through our supplier houses rather than list a product we don't currently stock — the same honest approach we take with every adjacent good outside the current listing.

Who orders olives and pickles wholesale
Delis and mezze bars are the core buyer here — an olive bar or antipasto case needs several formats running at once, not one jar. Caterers and grocers make up the rest, restocking a fixed shelf facing or pricing a fixed guest count against a case rather than a retail jar bought one at a time.
Because the range spans vacuum packs, glass jars and tins across two suppliers, most orders end up mixed — a caterer might run Zer's vacuum-packed black olives for a tray and Lio's Salkini in glass for a retail-style deli case in the same delivery.
How the category is judged: cure, brine and format
Buyers comparing olive suppliers generally weigh cure style, brine handling and packaging format before anything else — a kalamata-versus-green-olive comparison and our notes on catering-size formats cover the practical questions we're asked most. Zer's black and green olives come from Aegean groves in Türkiye, a different growing region from the company's Gaziantep base — worth knowing if you're sourcing for an explicitly Turkish-format program; see our importing food from Türkiye post for the wider supply picture.
Lio's Salkini-variety green olives and capers ship from Syria in glass rather than tin, which some buyers prefer for a visible retail case even though it costs more in freight weight than a vacuum pack. Our Levantine olives guide and the site's older wholesale olives Canada post both go deeper on variety and cure differences if you're building a program from scratch.
Case and jar formats
The table above covers all four anchor lines. Vacuum packs run from 170 g up to 800 g depending on the Zer line, glass jars from 300 g capers up to 2900 g catering-size Salkini olives, and Zer's sliced green olives are also available in half and full tins for kitchens that prefer tin over glass.
Pickles: sourced on request, honestly
We don't carry a standalone pickle line today. Rather than stretch the olives listing to imply one, we'll quote pickles the same way we quote any product outside our current catalogue — tell us format and volume through your inquiry and we'll source it through our supplier network.
Buying questions, answered
What olive formats do you stock — jars, tins or vacuum packs?
All three. Zer's black and sliced green olives come vacuum-packed and in tins; Lio's Salkini olives and capers ship in glass jars. See the format table above for exact sizes and case counts.
Do you carry pickles?
Not as a standalone catalogue line yet. We source pickles on request through our supplier houses — ask through your inquiry with the format and volume you need.
Where are your olives from?
Zer's black and green olives are grown in Aegean groves in Türkiye; Lio's Salkini green olives and capers are sourced from Syria.
What's the difference between the Zer and Lio olive lines?
Zer's olives ship vacuum-packed or in tins, suited to foodservice and catering formats; Lio's Salkini olives and capers ship in glass jars, more common on a retail deli case. Most mixed orders run both.
