FAQ — Mazafati Dates

Are Mazafati dates the same as Rotab?

Rotab refers to the ripeness stage. Mazafati is the variety. Mazafati is typically sold at Rotab stage, so they’re often used interchangeably.

Why are Mazafati dates expensive?

Cold chain requirements, limited shelf life, and premium quality from Bam contribute to pricing.

Can I store Mazafati at room temperature?

Not recommended. High moisture means they spoil quickly without refrigeration.

Where does Green Diamond source Mazafati?

Directly from Bam, Iran — the best source worldwide.
