Trade supply
Wholesale Supplier for Caterers — Toronto & the GTA
Levant Direct supplies Toronto and GTA caterers with the volume side of a Levantine or Middle Eastern event menu: rice and grill spice blends, olives for the mezze tray, and dessert-cream mixes for the pastry counter, quoted by the case for the kind of standing volume a wedding or corporate-event calendar actually runs on.
This is a spice-and-pantry supplier relationship, not a meat or produce account — our blends season a protein program your kitchen sources elsewhere. Where a blend's composition is halal-suitable, that's stated per product on your quotation; see our restaurant halal-certification notes for how that verification actually works in Canada.

Two blends built for a rice and grill station
Kabsa Spices is a mixed, ground-in-house blend built for the rice base under a kabsa spread — the dish most large-format Gulf and Levantine catering menus build a table around. Chicken shawerma spices seasons the grill or oven side of the same menu; both are seasoning blends only, so your kitchen sources the protein and rice separately and adds ours for the flavour profile guests expect.
Ordering blends by the case rather than the small retail jar matters most here — a single event can go through what a household would use in a year, and a caterer reordering the same blend event after event needs a consistent case size and a supplier who remembers the last quotation.
The mezze tray and dessert counter
Zer Black Olives ships vacuum-packed in three case sizes suited to different tray counts, from a 48-count small-format case up to an 800 g x12 case for a larger spread. On the sweet side, Zer Cream Chantilly Vanilla is a chantilly cream powder produced to the ISO 22000:2005 food-safety standard — a detail worth having on hand if your catering client asks about the supply chain behind a dessert station.
What's confirmed on quotation for a standing event calendar
Caterers rarely place a single one-off order — most run a standing account against a season's worth of bookings, and case pricing, lead time and delivery timing against a specific event date are all confirmed in your written quotation rather than assumed from a price list. State your event calendar or your typical monthly volume when you inquire so the quote reflects a standing relationship rather than a one-time trial.
See our broader notes on catering-scale Levantine supply for how mezze, grill and dessert stations are typically portioned at volume, and confirm your lead time against our general GTA delivery guidance well ahead of a booked date.
Buying questions, answered
Do you supply meat or protein for catering menus?
No — we supply the seasoning blends, olives and dessert-cream mixes; your kitchen sources meat, rice and produce separately. Nothing in our catalogue is a meat product.
Can you handle a standing order across a season of bookings?
Yes — most caterer accounts run on a standing basis rather than a single order. State your typical event calendar or monthly volume in your inquiry and it's quoted as a standing relationship.
Is the kabsa or shawarma seasoning halal?
Where a blend's composition is halal-suitable, certification is stated per product on your quotation — we don't make a blanket halal claim across the catalogue. Ask about the specific blend when you inquire.
How far ahead of an event should I place my order?
Lead time depends on the product mix and case volume — see our GTA delivery lead-time guidance and confirm your specific date when you send your inquiry, especially around wedding-season or holiday peaks.
