A premium Medjool, ready for the shelf
The most renowned variety of dates, the Medjool is distinguished by generous fruit, melting flesh, and an intense flavour reminiscent of caramel and honey. This reference comes from Palestine. It is offered in individual 450 g boxes, a format designed for sale to the end consumer: there is no repackaging required, and the product goes straight from the case to the shelf.

Target professional customers
- Delicatessens and specialist shops: the box enhances the product on the shelf. It is perfect for a premium offering and sells easily by the unit.
- Greengrocers and dried fruit aisles: this is a lead product in peak season, ideal for end-of-aisle displays or near checkouts to encourage impulse purchases.
- Wholesalers and distributors: the uniform case format is easy to store, prepare and dispatch to your own retail customers.
- Gift hampers and corporate offerings: the 450 g format fits into hampers, year-end gifts and Ramadan parcels.
- Hospitality and catering: it enables small-quantity sourcing for buffets, guest receptions or takeaway sales in hotel shops and tea rooms.
Advantages of the box format
- Ready to sell: no handling or weighing is required, saving you time in-store and reducing losses associated with loose produce.
- Hygiene and presentation: the fruit is protected right through to the end customer and maintains a neat appearance on the shelf, with no risk of drying out in self-service.
- Clear unit pricing: the 450 g format lends itself to clear price positioning for the consumer and a healthy margin on a product with high perceived value.
- 16-unit case: this volume is well suited to retail turnover, neither too small for peak season nor too heavy to sell through during standard periods.
- Strong seasonality: demand is very high during Ramadan and the end-of-year festive season. Place your orders early to secure your stock during these periods.
Storage
Stock the cases in a cool, dry place, away from light and heat sources. A positive cold room is ideal for extending the shelf life of the fruit prior to display. In-store, avoid prolonged exposure in warm display cabinets or direct sunlight. Once the box is opened, the consumer should preferably keep it well sealed in the refrigerator. Refer to the date indicated on the packaging.
Large Medjool: box or bulk?
This reference complements our range of Medjool dates. The 450 g box is designed for direct resale to the consumer. For catering, baking or processing, opt for our 5 kg bulk carton format, which is more economical per kilogram.
