Date harvest seasons vary by origin, allowing Corsodoro to supply fresh-crop dates throughout the second half of the year with warehoused stock available year-round.
Processed dates (pitted, chopped, paste, syrup) are available year-round from warehoused stock. New-crop supply from major origins typically arrives in European ports between October and February. Demand peaks significantly during Ramadan - plan orders 3–4 months ahead for Ramadan supply.
Medjool dates are large, soft, and caramel-flavoured - they are the premium variety, often sold as a standalone snack or in gift packs. Prices range EUR 8–16/kg wholesale depending on size grade (Large, Jumbo, Super Jumbo). Deglet Nour (meaning "Date of Light") are semi-dry with a firmer texture and translucent golden colour - they are the most traded date variety globally and the standard for industrial use, baking, chopped dates, and date paste. Deglet Nour prices range EUR 2–4/kg wholesale.
Yes, Corsodoro supplies EU Organic certified dates from Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. Organic Deglet Nour from Tunisia and organic Medjool from Israel are the most readily available varieties. All organic supply chains are certified under EU Regulation 2018/848 with full traceability from grove to delivery. Organic certification typically adds 15–25% to conventional pricing.
Beyond whole dates (with pit and pitted), Corsodoro supplies chopped dates (coated with rice flour or oat flour to prevent sticking), date paste (a smooth filling for bakery and confectionery), and date syrup (a natural liquid sweetener).
