Mazafati Dates

Mazafati dates (often marketed under popular distribution brands such as Bam Mazafati, Rayan, or various Dutch-Turkish ethnic retail importers like Sebat or Meray in the Netherlands) are a renowned cultivar of fresh, soft, dark dates originating from the Bam region in Kerman Province, Iran.

Because 'Mazafati' designates the specific botanical date variety rather than an exclusive registered trademark, it is packed and exported by numerous local agricultural cooperatives and trading companies in Iran and distributed across European supermarkets, ethnic food stores, and specialty retailers. In the Dutch market, several food distributors import and package these dates under their own private or ethnic import labels.
