The UNECE DDP-08 standard developed by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe defines the trade and quality requirements for dates – it is our basis for the highest quality.

Through careful exchange along the entire production process, strict controls, random sample analyses and a long-term partnership, we can achieve an even better result than prescribed. This is how we ensure consistently high quality.

We will be happy to provide you with the relevant product specifications on request.
