The benchmark Medjool in bulk format for professionals
An iconic variety among dried fruits, the Medjool date is distinguished by its generous size, exceptionally soft flesh, and melt-in-the-mouth texture. Originating from Palestine, this fruit develops naturally sweet aromas with undertones of caramel and honey in this climate. Offered here in a 5 kg carton, this reference meets the requirements of food professionals seeking an authentic, consistent product suited to both sales by weight and culinary processing.

Storage
To preserve the soft texture and taste qualities of the dates, store the carton in a cool, dry place away from light. A stable temperature in a positive cold room or temperature-controlled storeroom is recommended to prevent drying out or sugar crystallisation. Carefully reseal the inner bag after each use. Refer to the date indicated on the packaging.
