Two bottles of date syrup — whole dates, pressed and concentrated, nothing else. $21.99 against $25.98 for two singles, so about 15% less.
What it tastes like
Deep caramel with a honeyed edge and a clear date character underneath. Richer and rounder than cane sugar rather than simply sweeter. It is the sweetest thing we sell and the closest in behaviour to honey.
Worth being clear: dates are a naturally sugar-rich fruit, and concentrating them concentrates that too. Date syrup is not a low-sugar product and we are not going to describe it as one. It is an unrefined sweetener with a real flavour — that is the reason to choose it.
How to use it
-
Coffee and tea — dissolves straight in, no stirring required
-
Porridge, yogurt, pancakes — the classic use, and where the flavour is most at home
-
Smoothies — blends without grit
-
Marinades and dressings — excellent in anything Middle Eastern in character; it belongs alongside tahini
-
Baking — a liquid, so not a one-for-one swap. Best in sticky, dark bakes

Common questions
Is it certified organic?
No. We are not USDA organic certified and we do not use the word. If you find an older listing that says otherwise, it is out of date.
Is this sugar-free or keto?
No. If you want a sweetener with fiber and no added sugars, our chicory root syrup is the one — 11g of dietary fiber per tablespoon, 0g added sugars.
Does it thicken?
It stiffens when cold. Standing the bottle in warm water loosens it again.
No one is perfect. Just have good balance.
