A Pioneer in Gourmet Excellence

Over the years Bateel has transformed dates from a traditional staple to a gourmet delicacy, establishing itself as a leader in the global luxury food industry. With a commitment to quality and authenticity, Bateel offers an array of products, including organic dates, single-origin chocolates and artisanal gourmet foods, all reflecting the brand's dedication to excellence and innovation.

Bateel produces exceptional quality organic dates. This is the foundation for developing Bateel’s world-renowned gourmet range, offered in Bateel luxury boutiques and other premium retailing channels.
