Kholas – Buttery Sweetness, Straight from the Palm

Think fudge, but fruit. That’s the world Kholas dates live in. Their dark brown color, oblong shape, and soft shine make them inviting before you even take a bite. Known in the Middle East as “butter-sweet,” Kholas dates are prized for their melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich caramel-toffee flavor. Soft, sticky, and smooth, they have a slow, sweet unfolding that lingers in the best way, like soft fudge straight from nature.

Kholas dates are one of the most beloved varieties in Saudi Arabia, especially when paired with a cup of Arabic coffee. Their smooth, rich sweetness makes them perfect for connoisseurs and home bakers alike. Whether you're enjoying them on their own or adding them to baked goods, energy balls, or smoothies, Kholas provides a silky, melt-in-your-mouth texture and a natural sweetness that blends seamlessly into recipes. So soft and buttery, Kholas practically melt on your tongue, no teeth required, just time to savor.

Perfect for Everyday Use

Their buttery richness and soft consistency make Kholas especially well-suited for recipes where you want to avoid pre-soaking or chopping. Whether you're using them in raw treats, as a natural sweetener for baked goods, or simply enjoying them as an easy snack, they add a depth and smoothness that’s hard to beat. Because they are whole, pressed, and packed in their own naturally produced raw date syrup, they stay deliciously soft over time and are ideal for any pantry.

How Pressed Dates Are Made

Our pressed dates follow an age-old tradition that dates back to the Middle East. After the harvest, the dates are left in the sun to ripen further for several weeks. This natural process allows the dates to develop even more sweetness and depth of flavor. Once they have reached the perfect level of ripeness, the dates are gently pressed to release some of their naturally produced raw date syrup. This syrup helps preserve the fruit and acts as a natural preservative, much like honey. The dates are then packed in an airtight seal in order to ensure that the dates arrive to you the same way they left the farm. What you get is nothing more than pure, sun-ripened fruit in its most natural form, no additives, no treatments, just dates.

Single-Origin from Al-Ghat

All our Kholas dates come from one farm in Al-Ghat, Saudi Arabia, not mixed or blended with dates from other farms. This allows for better quality control, consistency, and full traceability. It also means we’re able to maintain a strong relationship with the growers, supporting responsible and sustainable farming practices and a supply chain we fully trust. Our dates are untreated, meaning they’re free from pesticides, preservatives, treatments, and additives. What ends up in your hands is a direct product of that partnership: single-origin and untreated Kholas, harvested and packed with care.

Understanding the Natural Sugars in Kholas

Kholas dates naturally contain no sucrose. Instead, they contain only glucose and fructose, two natural sugars found in fruit. While natural forms of sucrose are not an enemy, this difference can matter for some people, especially those who are sensitive to sucrose or watching their blood sugar levels.

Though all dates are naturally sweet, the absence of sucrose in Kholas may make them easier for some to digest or pair better with certain dietary needs. That said, they’re still a rich source of natural sugar in a whole-foods diet and are best enjoyed in moderation like all foods, ideally with a source of fiber, protein, or healthy fat to help slow the release of sugar into the bloodstream.

A Whole Food You Can Trust

Kholas dates are naturally rich in carbohydrates, with small amounts of potassium, magnesium, and other trace minerals. They contain no fat, no added sugars, and no preservatives, just pure, whole fruit, ripened by the sun, harvested and packed at its peak. Their soft, even texture makes them easy to use in recipes, but they’re just as satisfying straight from the pack.

Why People Come Back for Kholas

Kholas dates leave a lasting impression. Their balanced sweetness, soft bite, and rich, almost caramel-like depth make them the kind of date you reach for without thinking… and then reach for again. If you’ve only ever had dry, rubbery dates from the supermarket, Kholas will completely shift your perspective. Soft, sticky, rich, and wholly themselves, Kholas dates stand out for their natural sweetness and smooth texture.

Bite into a Kholas date and it doesn’t bite back; it melts.
