The story of our dates

The home of sweet BIO dates is sunny Algeria. The Middle East is known for the best date varieties there ever were. It is here that dates are an important part of traditional Arab cuisine. They are often roasted in butter or pressed into a loaf called 'adshah'.

Our organic dates have been grown according to the principles of controlled organic farming. As a result, they retain their nutritional richness in the highest quality.

After harvesting, they are dried in the sun for several days. This preserves their juiciness and typical golden brown colour. After drying, the dates are washed and carefully sorted by hand. They are not further sweetened or sulphurised.

And something else interesting...

Date trees have been cultivated by man for more than 5 000 years. It is written about in the Bible and in the Koran.

Since ancient times, the date palm has successfully spread from its original homeland of Mesopotamia, in what is now Iraq, with the help of man, to vast dry and warm areas such as Algeria, Egypt, Israel and even California, where it is now widely cultivated.
