"The Oasis Treasure."
Cultivated in the legendary Siwa Oasis — a fertile pocket of springs and salt lakes deep in Egypt's Western Desert — Siwa dates are among the oldest and most distinctive varieties on earth. Their compact size, soft caramel-toned flesh and rich, slightly tart sweetness are shaped by Siwa's mineral-saturated soils, ancient artesian water, and the unbroken cultivation practices of its Berber communities.
Available in: Premium 1 kg retail boxes (pictured) · 5 kg & 10 kg bulk cartons · Private label with custom artwork · Organic certification available.
Siwa dates carry a flavor signature that is genuinely unique: balanced sweetness with a subtle mineral note from the oasis's salt-rich groundwater, and a clean tartness on the finish that pairs beautifully with cheese, coffee, and dessert applications.

The Siwa Oasis sits 50 meters below sea level, surrounded by the Great Sand Sea. Its 300+ natural springs and millennia-old date groves have sustained the Amazigh (Berber) people of Siwa for over five thousand years — making it one of the oldest continuously cultivated agricultural regions on earth.
EVERMOND partners directly with farming cooperatives in Siwa, paying above-market farmgate prices for hand-harvested, naturally sun-dried fruit. Every box you see is the result of traditional knowledge meeting international quality standards — a partnership we are proud to extend.
