Piarom (also spelled Piyarom) is one of Iran’s most celebrated date varieties. Harvested from high‑quality orchards and hand‑selected at peak ripeness, Piarom offers a distinctively thin, glossy skin and concentrated caramel notes with low moisture compared to soft varieties — making it perfect for retail display, premium gift boxes, in‑flight catering and upscale foodservice.
Why UAE buyers prefer Piarom:
- Flavor profile that appeals to Gulf palates: intense, natural sweetness with a light toffee finish.
- Semi‑dry texture: longer shelf life, simpler logistics, reduced refrigeration needs.
- Elegant appearance: dark brown glossy fruit ideal for premium packaging and corporate gifting.
- Versatility: eaten as is, included in confectionery, used in date‑based pastes, bakery fillings, and luxury hospitality platters.
We supply comprehensively inspected Piarom dates with documented origin, lab testing, and accepted international certifications—tailored to the needs of UAE retailers, wholesalers, hotels and F&B manufacturers.
