Our story

A fruit older than writing.

Tâmara was founded in 2017 in the GCC, by a small team who wanted to reframe the date — not as a humble pantry staple, but as a finished thing. The kind of food you serve at the end of dinner rather than the beginning.

Provenance

Seven thousand years in one bite.

The Gulf has been cultivating dates since before the wheel was invented. Our growers are second- and third-generation farmers from the UAE, Oman and the eastern oases of Saudi Arabia. We work with three varieties — Medjool, Khalas and Sukkari — and rotate based on season.

Cocoa is the modern half of the story: small-estate, single-origin from São Tomé and Madagascar. We visit twice a year. Nothing is bulk-bought.

Sustainability

The palm is patient. We try to be.

Date palms live to a hundred years and yield for sixty. They thrive in soil that grows nothing else, on a fraction of the water a fruit tree needs. We work with growers who keep their land in family hands rather than selling to large operations.

Our packaging is FSC-certified paperboard, plant-based inner trays, and a foil-free outer wrap. Recyclable in the GCC, EU and Brazil.
