Six completely different worlds in one Grande pack - from royal juiciness through legendary history to universal everyday enjoyment.

Texture: Extra soft, creamy, melts on the tongue
Taste: Rich and full, with notes of raisins and plums without a trace of bitterness
Why it’s exceptional: Most global producers skip this stage due to demanding logistics - in Europe, Rutab Medjool is an absolute rarity

Product origin: The heart of Arab tradition in the oases of Al-Qassim
This selected collection brings the best from the central part of Saudi Arabia. The Al-Qassim region, world-famous as the “garden of dates,” is home to more than 8 million palm trees. This is where the three exceptional varieties we combined into one package come from: royal Medjool with a silky taste, golden Sukkari Mufattal with a delicate structure, and rare Saggai with a fascinating contrast of textures. All are grown with maximum respect for tradition, not as a mass commercial product.
Why is the selection from Al-Qassim so unique?
• Three characters, one microclimate: A specific combination of hot desert sun and rich underground springs creates conditions you won’t find anywhere else. Thanks to this, each variety in the mix has its own unique profile – from the deep sweetness of Medjool through the gently melting Sukkari to the noble fruity notes of Saggai dates.
• Heritage of generations and handwork: The dates come from family plantations where cultivation is a craft passed down for centuries. Each fruit in this mix is the result of patient care, hand harvesting, and strict selection of the best pieces, which guarantees a clean taste without traces of bitterness from burnt sugar.
• Home to the largest date festival: Al-Qassim hosts the famous Buraidah Date Festival, the largest event of its kind in the world. This mix contains varieties that are most valued at these prestigious auctions by local connoisseurs for their authenticity and exceptional quality.
• Absolute freshness without chemicals: All three varieties are harvested at the optimal stage of ripeness and stored to preserve their natural juiciness and nutritional values. They are not chemically treated or polished with syrups – their shine and honey taste are a pure gift of nature.
This collection is an ideal choice for those who want to discover the diversity of flavors of Arab oases in one package, or as an exceptional gift for lovers of truly authentic delicacies.
Important notice: Pit and safety
• Natural state with a pit: The dates are delivered in their authentic, unprocessed form and each fruit contains one pit. Thanks to the soft and pliable texture of these dates, however, the pit can be removed very easily with your fingers or with a light cut.
• Children and safety: When serving dates to children, we recommend extra caution. Always remove the pit by hand before consumption. For small children, it is safer to cut the fruit lengthwise to be sure the pit is gone, and then cut it into smaller bites.
Storage and shelf life: How to keep freshness without chemicals
Our dates are a purely natural product without any chemical treatment or preservatives. To keep their taste and ideal texture, we recommend following these tips:
• After delivery: As soon as you receive your shipment, we recommend transferring the dates into an airtight container and placing them in the refrigerator.
• Optimal freshness in the fridge: After receiving the shipment, we recommend transferring the dates immediately into an airtight container. In the refrigerator at +5 to +7 °C, they will stay in perfect condition for at least 3 months.
• Protection from odors: Dates are very sensitive to surrounding aromas. Storing them in a closed container is key so the fruits don’t absorb odors from other foods in the fridge and keep their natural aroma.
• Long-term storage (up to 1 year): If you want to stock up for the whole year, you can freeze the dates without worry. In the freezer at -18 to -20 °C, they remain in ideal condition for 12 months. Low temperature is the most natural preservation method and requires no additives.
• Serving culture: For everyday enjoyment, it is ideal to serve dates in a beautiful glass jar with a lid. Not only does it look elegant, but the lid prevents natural moisture from evaporating, so every bite stays juicy and tasty.
