Our Products

 Premium Dates

We consolidate the activities of both large and small date producers throughout the Middle-East and North Africa by combining quality control, marketing, sales, and export activities with outstanding customer service and reliability to offer our partners the highest quality premium dates and dates derivative products.

  • Medjool

    Medjool dates are deep amber-brown and have slightly wrinkled skin that shines from natural sugar crystals. Bite into one, and your teeth sink into satisfyingly sticky flesh that tastes of creamy caramel, hints of wild honey, and a trace of cinnamon. Native to Morocco, Medjool dates are now grown in warm regions of the United States, the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa.

  • Sukari

    Sukari dates are golden, crunchy-soft delights known as the "royal dates" of Arabia for their honeyed sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Grown in the sunbaked farms of Saudi Arabia, they boast a natural caramel flavor with delicate notes of butterscotch. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and instant energy, Sukari dates are as nourishing as they are indulgent. Perfect with Arabic coffee or as a wholesome treat on their own, they offer a truly regal experience in every bite.

  • Kimia / Mazafati

    Mazafati dates are nature’s soft, dark treasures—succulent, velvety, and bursting with rich brown suger-like sweetness. Grown in the sun-drenched groves of West Asia, they are harvested at peak ripeness to preserve their luscious texture and intense flavor. Naturally rich in fiber, potassium, and antioxidants, Mazafati dates are a nourishing indulgence. Whether enjoyed on their own or paired with nuts and cheeses, they offer a luxurious taste of tradition in every bite

  • Maryam

  • Zahedi

    Zahedi dates are golden-brown, semi-dry delights known for their firm texture and mild, nutty sweetness. Grown in the fertile plains of the sun-drenched plains of Southwest Asia, they offer a satisfyingly chewy bite with notes of toffee and a hint of earthiness. Their low moisture content gives them a long shelf life, making them ideal for bulk trade. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and natural energy, Zahedi dates are a timeless staple with rustic charm and versatility.

  • Fard

    Fard dates are sleek, dark gems from the rich date-growing regions of Oman, prized for their balanced sweetness, smooth skin, and firm yet tender bite. With subtle hints of toffee and a clean, satisfying finish, they are a staple in Omani households. Naturally rich in fiber, minerals, and slow-releasing energy, Fard dates are as wholesome as they are elegant. Their long shelf life and low stickiness make them perfect for both everyday snacking and premium packaging.

  • Khalas

    Indulge in the irresistible taste of Khalas dates – soft textured, with buttery-caramel like flavours with subtle notes of vanilla. These delectable gems offer not only unparalleled flavour but also a wealth of nutrition, making them the perfect choice for snacking and elevating your favourite dishes. In Arabic, 'Khalas' means 'finished'. Legend has it that once you taste a Khalas date, your search for the most delicious variety of dates is Khalas!

  • LuLu

    Lulu dates are round, glossy, and richly colored delights native to the UAE, celebrated for their juicy texture and deep, caramel-like flavor. Plump and naturally moist, they offer a satisfyingly soft bite with a balanced sweetness that makes them perfect for snacking or pairing with nuts. Often considered a premium variety in Emirati markets, Lulu dates stand out for their generous size and luxurious mouthfeel.

  • Segai

    Segai dates are a unique and visually striking variety from Saudi Arabia, known for their golden, slightly dry tops and soft, dark brown bases. This natural two-tone contrast offers a delightful blend of textures—crisp and chewy with a mild, honey-like sweetness. Often enjoyed with Arabic coffee, Segai dates are less sugary than other varieties, making them a favorite for those who appreciate balance and subtlety. Packed with fiber and nutrients, they’re as nourishing as they are elegant.

  • Goldate Syrup

    Date syrup is delightfully sweet and delicious and carries most of the health benefits of the whole date. A wonderful way to add natural sweetness to your products and replace refined sugars.

  • Goldate Sugar

    Made of granulated dried dates, date sugar is comprised of the whole fruit, containing the fiber and antioxidants found in dates. Packed with a delightful caramel flavour, it is a superior replacement for refined sugar in baking and cooking.

  • Goldate Paste

    Date paste is widely used in a variety of food products such as sauces and chutneys. At home, whisk it into salad dressings to help emulsify and add a touch of sweetness. Swirl it into your morning oatmeal, sweeten a smoothie, add it to stews or sauces that need a bit of sweetness.
