Mazafati
Dates

Iran's crown jewel of date exports — deep, fudgy, and impossibly soft, with notes of dark chocolate, caramel and molasses.

Home/Collections/Mazafati Dates

Mazafati — also called Kimia or Bam dates — accounts for roughly 20% of Iran's total date output, and it's the variety most international buyers picture when they think of Iranian dates. Deep dark brown to near-black, with an exceptionally soft, fleshy texture and high natural moisture, it delivers a uniquely fudgy, melt-in-the-mouth eating experience.

Bam's unique microclimate and mineral-rich soil give Mazafati an irreplaceable depth of flavor that no other region can replicate. Available in multiple moisture grades, it's internationally beloved for fresh consumption, gifting, and premium food applications.
