What does Fancy Grade mean at Medjoul Dates?

The designation "Fancy Grade" refers to a quality category in which the dates exhibit a higher degree of loose skin. This is a natural phenomenon and in no way affects the taste, freshness or internal quality of the date. This visual characteristic allows us to offer Medjoul Dates Fancy at a more attractive price.

More about Medjool Dates:

Medjool dates, also known as Medjoul, Madjhul or Medjul, and affectionately called "King of Dates" or "Jumbo Dates," are a premium variety of dates native to the Middle East. They are distinguished by their exceptional sweetness, generous size and deliciously soft texture.

These royal fruits grow in hot, dry climates and are harvested in the fall in the northern hemisphere and in the spring in the southern hemisphere. The Medjool date is the fruit of the date palm tree(Phoenix dactylifera), a family with many varieties, of which the Medjool has become the absolute favorite.

Worldwide, Medjool dates are grown in countries such as Israel, the Jordan Valley, the Palestinian Authority, the United States (California), Mexico, South Africa, Namibia, Morocco, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

Why our Medjool dates from the Jordan Valley?

We import our organic Medjool dates from the Jordan Valley, a unique area between the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee. This region is known for the superior quality of its Medjool dates: they are darker in color, exceptionally soft and unprecedentedly juicy compared to dates from other origins. The specific combination of soil, climate and water in the Jordan Valley creates the ideal conditions for this premium quality. Want to learn more about the social aspects of our dates?

Each date palm produces only one harvest per year. The harvest period falls from September to November in the northern hemisphere and from March to May in the southern hemisphere.

Quality Indicators: Size and Peel Separation

Medjool dates are carefully sorted by size (weight per fruit in grams) and degree of skin separation (how loose the skin is from the flesh).

It is important to note that this grading is purely optical. All exported dates, regardless of size or peel separation, are of the same high internal quality, freshness, flavor and texture. Sometimes a date with a loose skin may appear "dried out," but often the opposite is true: a high skin separation may actually indicate a very juicy and moist date.

So don't be fooled by the price. More expensive dates (larger with low peel separation) are not necessarily tastier or better than smaller dates with higher peel separation.

Optimal Freshness, Guaranteed!

We guarantee the freshness of our Medjool dates by freezing them at -18°C immediately after harvest in September. This allows the dates to retain their perfect texture and flavor as if they had just been picked. Unlike dates in supermarkets, where storage conditions sometimes leave much to be desired, with us you are guaranteed top quality.

Trust your own judgment and your nose to judge the optimal quality of your dates. You can here read more about the quality of Medjool dates.
