This premium variety has carved its place at the top of the global retail market, commanding prime shelf space and topping the list of requests from international buyers.

Origin
Cultivated for centuries in the Middle East, Medjool dates are now celebrated across numerous countries. However, Saudi Arabian Medjool dates, grown in the Kingdom's rich agricultural regions, are particularly esteemed for their outstanding size, consistent moisture, and unparalleled depth of flavor. At Al Kareem, we cultivate our Medjool on certified organic farms, employing the most rigorous farming and processing standards to ensure that every date meets your expectations.
Appearance
These dates are large and elongated with a graceful pointed end. Their reddish-dark brown skin is typically smooth, with an occasional natural skin separation that signifies ideal moisture content — not a flaw. Our Premium Jumbo dates average 18g each, yielding approximately 61 per kilogram, while our Premium Large dates average 13g, translating to around 77 per kilogram.
Texture & Taste
Medjool dates represent the pinnacle of soft, moist culinary delights. Their tender flesh is almost caramel-like in richness, exhibiting a sweetness that is both pronounced and complex. With hints of vanilla, toffee, and a touch of honey, the flavor profile remains intriguing, drawing consumers back for more. A moisture content of 15–18% provides that quintessential Medjool experience.
Harvesting
Available in both Tamer (fully dried/cured) and Rutab (fresh semi-ripe) forms, our Medjool dates cater to diverse consumer needs. Rutab Medjool is highly perishable and best suited for buyers with the capacity to manage fresh date imports, while Tamer forms the standard for most export markets.
Quality Standards
Al Kareem's Medjool dates are rigorously processed to GSO 1016:2015 and GSO 2511:2016 standards, certified organic, and compliant with BRC Issue 9 / ISO 22000:2018. Our grading protocol guarantees clean skins, entirely free from mechanical damage and fermentation across all Premium grades.
