- Originating from the Saudi Arabian city of Medina and cultivated in limited quantities, the Ajwa date is celebrated as the Holy date and a revered variety associated with centuries-old Islamic faith. - It has a prune-like texture and black in colour with very fine wrinkled lines. These dates are delightfully soft and mildly sweet. Although, the Ajwa tends to be of the dry variety, it holds a fruity flavour profile.
