Our products can be grouped into fresh dates, natural dates and soft dates. Fresh dates, such as Barhi and Hayani, have a shelf life of only 6-10 days outside refrigeration. Natural dates are packed in their natural state, with no sweeteners or additives. Dates in this group, such as Medjoul and Deglet Nour, have a long shelf life of up to three months. Soft dates are preserved or otherwise processed and have a shelf life of up to 12 months. Varieties in this group include Amari, Halawi, Hadrawi and Deri dates. Several years ago, Hadiklaim introduced a new approach to date merchandising: creating separate product categories for fresh dates and for baking and cooking dates. This concept has "stuck" and is widely used among retailers in various countries. Click on a variety name for a detailed description and a picture.
