Iranian Mazafati Bam Ruthob: The "Black Diamond"
Mazafati — often called Rotab in Iran — is a premium wet date from the Bam region of Kerman Province, Iran. Nicknamed the "Black Diamond" for its glossy near-black skin, Mazafati is the highest-moisture ruthob in our collection — a melt-in-your-mouth texture with an intense sweetness accented by caramel and molasses.
Why Is Mazafati So Special?
Mazafati is classified as a soft fresh date (rotab) with naturally very high moisture. Its skin is thin and glossy and separates easily from the flesh. The fruit is about 2.5–4.5 cm long with an oval shape. For lovers of wet dates who want the moistest, richest sensation, Mazafati is the pinnacle.

At home, store it in the freezer; take out what you need and let it thaw a little before eating so the melt-in-the-mouth texture comes through perfectly. Available in 500g and 1kg packs.
