A little bit of everything beyond whole dates: date syrup, date sugar, spices and date bars. Good things for snacking, cooking and baking, chosen for their flavour and simple ingredients.

  • Grown in Permaculture

    Good for the land, good for us.


    By working with nature instead of against it, the farm keeps the soil healthy, focuses on biodiversity & grows our dates without pesticides.

  • Finger painted hand symbol with outline of heart in the middle of palm

    Hand-harvested

    Picked by real people, not machines.


    Our dates are harvested by hand, allowing each fruit to be picked at the right time by farmers who know the palms.

  • Family Visit = Farm Visit

    Home means the palms, too.


    Maan, the co-founder of dattelmond, visits the farm whenever he visits his family in Saudi Arabia. It means staying connected to the people who grow our dates & seeing for ourselves what’s happening on the farm.

A few more good things for the kitchen

Dates are where dattelmond began, but there are plenty of other things we enjoy eating and sharing. This collection brings together our date-based treats, sweeteners and a small selection of savoury pantry favourites.

You’ll find finely ground date sugar for baking, raw date syrup for drizzling, date bars for a little something on the go and spices that are lovely with bread, vegetables and dips.

The products aren’t all made in the same place or in the same way. We choose them for their flavour, their ingredients and how naturally they fit into everyday meals. You can find the details on each product page.

What will I find in Specialities?

A mix of things beyond plain whole dates: date sugar and raw date syrup, COCOHAGEN date bars, cacao-coated dates and savoury seasonings such as sumac, za’atar and dukkah.

Some are ready to enjoy straight from the pack. Others are ingredients to keep in the cupboard for cooking, baking or breakfast.

Where should I start?

If you like baking, try date sugar in banana bread, muffins or over porridge. For something you can drizzle, raw date syrup is lovely with yoghurt or pancakes.

If you want a snack, have a look at the date bars or cacao-coated dates. And if you’re in the mood for something savoury, try za’atar with olive oil and warm bread or sumac over tomatoes.

faq

Are all the products in this collection made from dates?

No. Many of our specialities are made from dates or use dates as an ingredient, but this collection also includes savoury spices and seasoning blends.

The ingredients are listed on each individual product page.

What’s the difference between date sugar and date syrup?

Date sugar is made from finely ground whole dates. It has a mild caramel flavour and is useful for baking or sprinkling over breakfast, but it doesn’t fully dissolve in drinks.

Raw date syrup is liquid and easy to drizzle or stir into food. Both have their own texture and uses.

Do all of your specialities contain added sugar?

No. The date sugar is made entirely from dates, and our raw date syrup is also made without other ingredients. Many of our date-based snacks rely on the sweetness of the fruit.

Because the ingredients differ from product to product, check the individual ingredient list to see exactly what’s inside.

Are these products suitable as gifts?

Definitely, depending on what the person enjoys. A set of COCOHAGEN bars is a nice way to try different flavours, while date syrup, date sugar or a spice blend make thoughtful additions to a home cook’s cupboard.

If you’re not sure what they like, a dattelmond gift card leaves the choice up to them.

How should I store these products?

Storage depends on the product. Most spice blends and date sugar should be kept dry and tightly closed, away from heat and direct light. Bars and cacao-coated dates are best kept somewhere cool so their texture stays pleasant.

Check the individual product page and packaging for the specific storage advice and best-before date.
