Overview
About Piarom Dates
Piarom is one of the most prized dates in Iran. It grows on the mountain slopes around Hajiabad in Hormozgan and is harvested semi-dry: the skin is thin and slightly crackled, and the flesh is dense, chewy and caramel-sweet with a hint of chocolate.
Its lower moisture means Piarom keeps beautifully at room temperature and travels well — ideal for gifting, for the desk drawer, or for pairing with strong coffee and a sharp cheese.

Piarom, the “chocolate date”
Piarom palms grow on the hillsides around Hajiabad, between the mountains and the Persian Gulf. The semi-dry fruit has a thin, crackled skin and a toffee-like centre, and keeps far longer than soft dates.

Why is Piarom called the chocolate date?
For its dark, chocolate-brown skin and the cocoa-like note that comes through its caramel sweetness.
How long does it keep?
Up to 12 months in a cool, dry cupboard and around 18 months in the fridge.
Do Mazafati dates need to be refrigerated?
Yes. Mazafati is a soft, high-moisture date, closer to fresh fruit than to a dried date. Keep it in the fridge, where it stays at its best for several months.
What is the white coating on dried figs?
Natural fruit sugar crystallising on the surface. It is a sign of a well-dried fig, not mould, and it is perfectly safe to eat.
