Premium Egyptian Date Brand Altamra Drops Delicious Ramadan Line-up

Ramadan is a time to embrace tradition, and with that comes a range of the time-honoured treats we all know and love, prime amongst them dates. Altamra, a premium Egyptian date brand, is offering a fresh take on classic dates this Ramadan with its new line-up.

At the heart of the new line-up are Medjool dates. With their naturally sweet and rich flavour, are perfect for breaking your fast for that instant burst of energy we find ourselves needing post Maghrib. For those looking to get creative in the kitchen, Altamra also offers a Medjool date paste, ‘Ajwa’, which is ideal for experimenting with a few in-house ‘eftekasat’.

If you’re watching your sugar intake and don’t want to miss out on all the fun, Altamra’s line-up also features a healthier alternative. Their ‘Not Honey’, a natural sweetener, provides the perfect option for adding a touch of sweetness to your Suhoor smoothie, or drizzling over desserts without the added guilt.

For those seeking a nutritious - and health-conscious -  snack, Altamra has a few date-based ‘Delights’ up their sleeve; a series of power-packed bites that balance flavour, sweetness and nourishment. Among these delights are date-based chocolate balls sprinkled with nuts, sesame, or pistachio, as well as a unique rosy floral date bite (yes, actual roses).

Yet for Altamra, it’s not just about the dates; it’s how they get them. Using underground water sources and drip irrigation, along with bio-friendly pest control, they ensure their dates are grown with the environment in mind, with a Global GAP certification in their arsenal guaranteeing that the dates meet international standards for food safety and environmental sustainability.

Now, up for a date?
