Date Paste

Date paste is one of the most popular ingredients to add natural sweetness to your products as well as the many additional health benefits.

Our dates have the stones removed and are minced into a paste ready for processing, removing the time and effort needed when using whole dates.

Global Foods stock two grades of date paste ensuring we have a paste that exactly meets your needs. Both grades are manufactured in a BRC A grade facility and use the latest technology to remove date pits and fragments, ensuring you have a virtually pit free paste. We also guarantee a minimum of 11 months shelf life on all stock we deliver.

Deglet Nour Date Paste

Our Deglet Nour date paste is sourced from North Africa, known for growing the highest quality of this variety, and is also known as a retail date, rather than industrial, due to its premium flavour profile. We have the option of a 3mm or 1mm profile.

3mm paste is processed through a 3mm mincer so it retains some fibre structure and is perfect as a binding agent for other ingredients or as a filling. Alternatively, if you require a finer 1mm grade with a melt in the mouth texture, this is the product for you. (Our 1mm Deglet Nour is exclusive to Global Foods and cannot be found from any other supplier).
