Medjool dates are among the most popular date varieties and are characterized by their large size, intense taste and high pulp content. However, there are differences in quality, which are divided into three main categories:

1st choice (often referred to as “premium dates”)
2nd choice (often known as “Choice”, “Delight” or “Selected”)
3rd choice (suitable for further processing or as a low-cost alternative)

The main difference between the quality grades lies in the skin separation of the dates. Greater skin separation can lead to brown spots, which affects the appearance. However, these dates are no less delicious and also have an excellent taste – only the appearance varies.

Our premium dates have a skin separation of 0-10% and are generally somewhat firmer.

Our Choice dates have a skin separation of 10-25% and are usually slightly softer.
