Our stone-free organic dates are of the Deglet Nour variety and are carefully selected from Tunesia where the warm, subtropical climate provides good growth conditions. A date is a small long stone fruit that grows on the date palm. The date is a culture plant that has been cultivated for more than 8000 years. It takes 8 years before you can harvest dates from the palm tree, but on the other hand, the date palm has a life cycle that can last up to 100 years. In the Middle East, the sun-ripened dates are harvested in October to November, when the dates have got a nice, yellow-orange color. They hang in the top of the palms in large bunches of stems.

Dates has a natural caramel-like sweetness that in itself tastes like the most beautiful Christmas treats right out of the bag. Dates can easily be used for much more than a snack for Christmas. Eg. fit the sweetness really well for dry, salted cheeses or fried on the pan rolled in ham or bacon to the tapas table.
