Tahini & Halawa Wholesale — Toronto & the GTA
Levant Direct stocks one halawa line today — Ibrahim Srour Est.'s pistachio halawa, 800 g, pressed to a family recipe with roots in 1936 Damascus — and quotes it by the case for GTA dessert cafés, gift shops and grocers. We want to be direct about the rest of the category: tahini paste itself isn't a standalone product in our current catalogue, and it's sourced on request through our supplier houses rather than held on the shelf.
That's a narrower, more honest offer than the page title might suggest at first glance, and it's deliberate — a single well-specified halawa line beats a padded grid implying stock that isn't there. If your program needs tahini paste specifically, say so in your inquiry and we'll quote it through our sourcing network.

Who orders halawa wholesale in the GTA
Dessert cafés slice it for a counter display; gift and specialty grocers sell it whole or by the piece alongside sweets and coffee; independent grocers stock it as a shelf staple. Ethiopia's Humera white sesame is widely regarded as the premium seed behind good tahini and halawa, with Sudan as another major source — worth knowing when a customer asks what makes one halawa taste better than another.
One line, one honest specification
Srour Halawa with Pistachio ships at 800 g. Ibrahim Srour Est. traces its halawa-and-tahini production to 1936 Syria, with the family registering the establishment in Amman, Jordan in December 2012 after relocating during the Syrian war, and it now operates under Jordan FDA food-safety inspection. Our halva (halawa), explained piece covers how tahini becomes halawa in the first place, and tahini, explained covers the seed and milling side if you want the fuller picture.
Tahini paste: sourced on request, not in current stock
This is the plain version: we do not currently stock tahini paste as a standalone catalogue item. It's a common line across our supplier network in Jordan, Türkiye and Syria, and we can source and quote it the same way as anything else — through a written inquiry rather than a listed product page. Our halva (halawa) wholesale in Canada guide and the Levantine pantry piece both cover this same gap honestly, if you want a second source on the distinction before you order.
Pairing halawa with the rest of a dessert or gift program
Halawa reorders well alongside Levantine beverages — cardamom coffee and a dessert tray are a natural pairing for a café or a gift box — and alongside the wider sweets and bakery shelf for a grocer building out a Levantine dessert counter.
Buying questions, answered
Do you sell tahini paste?
No — not as a standalone product in our current catalogue. It's sourced on request through our supplier network rather than held in stock; tell us the format you need in your inquiry.
What halawa product do you actually stock?
One line: Srour Halawa with Pistachio, 800 g, from Ibrahim Srour Est., a family producer tracing its recipe to 1936 Damascus.
Is halawa the same thing as tahini?
No, though they're related — halawa is made from tahini worked with a sugar syrup and a natural foaming agent into a dense, flaky sweet, while tahini itself is the plain sesame paste. See our halva, explained guide for the full process.
Does halawa need refrigeration, and what's its shelf life?
See our does halva need refrigeration and halva shelf life at retail answers for practical storage and rotation guidance.
