Wholesale Supplier for Meal Prep Companies — Toronto & the GTA
Levant Direct supplies Toronto and GTA meal-prep companies with the batch-cooking bases a Mediterranean or Middle Eastern-leaning weekly menu returns to again and again: ground cumin, olive oil, sliced olives and tomato paste, quoted by the case for a production kitchen's actual weekly volume rather than a retail-jar quantity.
This is a growing account type for us — a meal-prep kitchen buys differently than a restaurant does, with a smaller rotating menu repeated at higher volume, and the guidance below reflects that rhythm rather than a general restaurant order.

Batch-cooking bases: cumin, oil and tomato paste
Ground Cumin is freshly milled to order rather than pulled from a generic blended tin, which matters more at meal-prep volume than it does for a single household recipe — flavour consistency across a thousand portions depends on starting from the same spice batch. Premium Virgin Olive Oil and Tomato Paste round out the base most rotating bowl or tray-format menus build from, both available in glass case sizes scaled well past a single kitchen's daily use.
Zer Sliced Black Olives adds a ready-portioned garnish or mix-in without your kitchen doing its own pitting and slicing at volume — a real time saving once you're running the same bowl hundreds of times a week.
Consistency across a rotating weekly menu
A meal-prep menu that rotates weekly still needs its base ingredients to taste the same batch to batch, or the recipe itself starts drifting even when nothing on the menu card changes. Ordering cumin, oil and tomato paste from a single named-origin supplier rather than switching between whatever's cheapest that week is one of the simpler ways to hold that consistency, since each product traces to the same producer and origin order over order.
Standing weekly orders
Most meal-prep accounts run on a standing weekly or biweekly order rather than one-off purchases — state your typical weekly volume across cumin, oil, olives and tomato paste in your inquiry, and case pricing and delivery are confirmed against that recurring schedule. See our broader notes on portioning and margin control at catering volume, much of which applies equally to a meal-prep kitchen's batch-cooking economics, and how inquiry-based ordering works for setting up that first standing order.
Buying questions, answered
Can you support a weekly production schedule?
Yes — most meal-prep accounts run as a standing weekly or biweekly order rather than one-off purchases. State your typical weekly volume in your inquiry.
Are your case sizes suited to commercial kitchen volume, not retail?
Yes — everything on this page ships in wholesale case formats scaled well past a single household's use, sized for a production kitchen's actual weekly volume.
Can I mix cumin, oil, olives and tomato paste in one order?
Yes — a mixed inquiry across all four is normal and consolidates into a single delivery and quotation.
Does the same product come from the same origin order over order?
Each product traces to a single named producer and origin, which is part of what keeps a rotating recipe tasting consistent batch to batch. Confirm specifics for your line in your inquiry.
