Varieties & origins

Bonbonera

The Bonbonera is the freshest date on the market and is characterized by its sweet, fruity and juicy flesh. It has a smooth, soft and thin skin.

A total of 8.2 million tons of dates were harvested in 2017. The top 10 producers harvested 89 percent of this amount. Most of the dates are processed directly in the countries of origin. Along with the dried fruits, date oil and date liquor are also widely produced.

Production

Jordan Valley

Most of the Medjool dates from Isreal come from the so-called "Jordan Valley". The Jordan is a river surrounded by rock walls. Due to the reflections, the valley reaches temperatures far above 40 degrees Celsius.

Taking care of the vine

Damit die Medjool-Datteln schön groß werden, werden die Reben frühzeitig ausgedünnt. So stehen weniger Datteln einer Rebe in gegenseitiger Konkurrenz und die einzelnen Datteln haben mehr Nährstoffe, um sich voll auszubilden.

Harvesting

Only when the dates are slightly transparent on all sides are they harvested.

Unconventional but a brilliant idea

During our trip to the plantation of "Natura Dates" we met Jeannie. She uses owls to control pests in organic cultivation and thus keeps the date trees healthy.

Harvesting

This is what the Medjool dates look like directly after harvesting.

Bonbonera

The Bonbonera is the juiciest of all Medjool dates. It is snap-frozen directly after harvesting and thus skips the drying process.

Drying the dates

Before the Medjool dates are packed in either 1 or 5 kg cartons, they are dried. The sugar concentration increases, which makes the date durable and transportable.

Sorting the dates

After drying, the dates are sorted. A distinction is made between Jumbo, Large and Medium. The general rule is: the bigger, the more expensive! However, the sizes have no difference in taste.

Quality check

The most important quality criterion for Medjool dates is the loose skin rate. It reflects the percentage of flaked date skin. The less, the more expensive.
