Medjool

Large, soft and generous, with caramel and brown sugar.

Medjool is one of the best-known dates in the world, prized for its size. The flesh is thick and soft, with flavours of caramel and brown sugar. It is the date to fill: split it, take out the stone and add a walnut, a few almonds or a little soft cheese.
