Think fudge, but fruit. That’s the world Kholas [Cho-lass] dates live in. They are our most popular variety for a reason: soft, sticky, almost buttery in texture, with a deep caramel-toffee flavor and balanced, mellow sweetness. Their dark brown color, oblong shape and glossy surface make them inviting before you even take a bite.

Ours grow on our partner farm in Al-Ghat, a historic oasis town in Saudi Arabia, where dry desert conditions help the dates develop their rich taste. The date palms grow in biodiverse groves, surrounded by other crops that support soil health and responsible farming practices. Our dates are 100% natural and untreated, with no additives or preservatives.

What makes Kholas especially enjoyable is their tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. They are easy to enjoy straight from the pack, especially with coffee, tea or nuts. Their soft consistency also makes them perfect for blending into smoothies, mixing into yoghurt, dipping in chocolate or using as a natural sweetener in baked goods.

Origin

All of our Kholas dates come from one farm in Al-Ghat, Saudi Arabia; never mixed or blended with dates from other farms. This allows for complete 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 dates, harvested and packed with care.

How are pressed dates made

The dates are harvested once they are ripe.
After harvest, they are left in the sun for several weeks to ripen further. During this time, the sun slowly evaporates some moisture content from the dates.
The dates are then gently pressed. Since they have lost some moisture during the ripening stage, some of their own raw date syrup is naturally released.
The dates are then sealed in their own syrup, which helps keep them sticky, soft, rich and long-lasting. Because every harvest is unique, the amount of syrup can naturally vary from batch-to-batch.

Nothing is added. No sugar, no oil and no preservatives. Just dates.

Storage Tips

For the best shelf life, store our pressed dates in a cool, dry and dark place.

After opening, we recommend transferring them to an airtight glass container. This is also a good moment to gently separate the pressed block into individual dates, so they are easier to enjoy one by one later.

Refrigeration is not necessary and can lead to natural sugar crystallisation, which is completely harmless. Thanks to their natural sugar content, pressed dates stay fresh for a long time when stored properly. For the best taste and texture, we recommend enjoying them within a reasonable period after opening.
