Organic dates Ajwa

The cultivation area of the Ajwa date are the black volcanic fields of Al-Medina in Saudi Arabia. Characteristic of this date are its unique round shape and deep red, almost black color. With a distinctly drier mouthfeel compared to other varieties, it offers a concentrated, strong aroma, but at the same time an extremely fine texture and a pleasant, not at all intrusive sweetness. Last but not least, Ajwa dates are prized for their vitamin and mineral content: they are rich in fructose and vitamins. In addition, they contain a lot of potassium, magnesium and zinc.

The team of victualler Nara, a young family business from Bavaria, devotes its full passion to a delicacy that has been around for thousands of years and whose popularity remains unbroken to this day. We are talking about dates. They come in almost infinite variety and unbelievable versatility regarding their use in different cuisines. Above all, they feature an overwhelming, full-bodied sweetness. Nara owner Georg Huber has been fascinated by the fruits right from the start. Time and again, he brought dates back from business trips to the Arab world and, at some point, had the idea to establish an import trade – a stroke of luck, in our assessment. Eventually, among the fruits imported by Nara are some very remarkable varieties that are still little known in northern latitudes.

Nara is in close personal contact with date farmers in Tunisia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. Hence, Nara’s team is in the know of the local cultivation and production conditions. When Nara takes delivery of the fruits, the team constantly monitors and ensures the quality and freshness. After transporting the fruits in cooling containers to Germany, Nara stores them in the company’s refrigerated warehouse.

Nara sets store by the natural purity of their dates. Therefore, the dates differ in appearance, consistency and taste from one variety to the other. However, all of them are delicious. You can enjoy them purely or in various sweet and savoury preparations. Their creamy, luscious sweetness makes them a tasty and nutritious snack after sports or in a break at the desk. The Nara dates in our range have organic quality; one variety meets the even stricter Demeter requirements.
