The cultivation of Kalute dates is concentrated in Jiroft, but the surrounding areas of Bam, Kahnuj, Hormozgan, and Sistan & Baluchestan provinces also contribute to their production. The combination of warm days, mild nights, and rich soil ensures a high-quality yield with consistent moisture content, giving Kalute dates their characteristic softness and melt-in-the-mouth feel.
Rich in natural sugars, fiber, and essential minerals, Kalute dates are a healthy, energy-boosting snack. Their soft flesh and thin skin make them perfect for eating fresh or adding to desserts and smoothies.
Freshness That Lasts
Kalute dates can remain fresh for several months when stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place. For extended preservation, refrigeration at 0–5°C can maintain their quality for up to 12 months, while freezing at −5°C allows storage for up to 24 months without affecting flavor or texture.
A Unique Taste Experience
Kalute dates stand out for their soft, fleshy bite and gentle caramel-like sweetness. Unlike many other date varieties, their balanced moisture and texture make them ideal for direct consumption or gourmet applications, reflecting the rich agricultural heritage of southern Iran.
