Ajwaعجوة

Ajwa is one of the most treasured and sought-after dates in the Arab world. It is instantly recognisable: small to medium in size, deep brown to almost black, with a fine, tender texture and a soft, even bite.

Where many dates are intensely sugary, Ajwa is prized for the opposite, a gentle, mild sweetness with subtle notes of raisin, dried fig and a hint of cocoa. It is the date for people who want depth of flavour rather than pure sweetness.

This is a variety with real heritage, long held in high regard across the region. We select and handle it with the same care as the dates from the Jordan Valley: whole, natural fruit, sorted by hand, with nothing added. It is grown without the use of pesticides, and we state its origin plainly: variety Ajwa, origin Jordan.

How to enjoy

Beautiful served simply after a meal or alongside strong coffee. Because Ajwa is less sugary, it pairs especially well with nuts, dark chocolate and cheese boards, and makes an elegant gift.

Storage

Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration keeps the fruit tender and extends freshness.
