What Is Iranian Dates (Mazafati & Piyarom)? & The Supply Process
Our Wholesale Iranian Dates range complements Akyel Kayısı's Malatya dried-fruit supply network, sourced from Iran's leading date-growing regions. It brings together the Iranian date varieties most favored by the Turkish market.
The range covers Mazafati (Kerman/Bam region), known for its soft, dark, moist texture; Piyarom (Hormozgan region), delicate, semi-dry and richly aromatic; and the more economical, golden-brown Zahedi (southern regions). For moist varieties like Mazafati, the fresh, soft texture is preserved through the cold chain.
Especially ahead of the Ramadan season, we meet the high-volume demand of supermarket chains, nut wholesalers and gift-package companies with cold-chain-protected cartons at competitive prices. On request, we can also separately source other date varieties such as Medjoul; export volumes are typically loaded by container, on FOB or EXW terms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Iranian Dates (Mazafati & Piyarom)
How can old-crop dates be distinguished from new-crop dates when buying?
New-crop dates are plump, the skin doesn't separate from the flesh or blister, the color is vivid, and biting into them doesn't leave a gritty or crystallized hard texture in the mouth. Akyel Kayısı's partner warehouses primarily supply new-crop dates with their climate control maintained.
What is the difference between Mazafati, Piyarom and Zahedi?
Mazafati is a soft, dark and moist date, ideal for fresh consumption and hospitality, and requires the cold chain. Piyarom is delicate, dry and richly aromatic, preferred for premium presentations. Zahedi is drier, golden-brown in tone and more economical. We work with you to determine the variety that best suits your needs.
Can we also find Medina or Jerusalem (Medjoul) dates?
We primarily supply Iranian dates (Mazafati, Piyarom, Zahedi); however, we can also separately source other date varieties such as Medjoul on request. Simply let us know your requirements.
When should I place an order for high-volume needs ahead of Ramadan?
Since demand intensifies during Ramadan, we recommend planning as early as possible. If you let us know the variety and estimated tonnage you need, we can put together a suitable supply schedule based on our cold storage planning.
