Wholesale Iranian Mazafati / Rotab Bam Dates — The Premium Soft Black Date
Mazafati dates (also known as Bam dates or Rotab Bam) are a premium cultivar from Iran grown primarily in the city of Bam, Kerman Province. Mazafati is nicknamed the "black diamond of dates" for its near deep-black color and exceptionally soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture. As a wholesale Mazafati importer, we supply this premium snacking date to the Jabodetabek market that wants exceptional quality.
Mazafati Characteristics
- Color: dark brown to deep black.
- Size: medium, about 2.5-4 cm per piece.
- Texture: very soft, moist, melt-in-the-mouth.
- Flavor: rich sweetness with caramel notes.
- Moisture: relatively high (around 32-35%).
Important Note: Cold Storage Required
Because of its high moisture, Mazafati must be stored cold. Room-temperature storage is not recommended as it accelerates spoilage. Kept in an airtight container in the fridge, Mazafati stays fresh for 6-8 months; it can even be frozen for up to 18 months without losing texture. For resellers, this means Mazafati must be managed with a cold chain — but its quality matches the premium market demand.
