Origin and Date Harvest
Origin

Dates originate from the Middle East, particularly regions such as modern-day Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia and North Africa. They have been cultivated for thousands of years and have been a staple food for many cultures. Today, countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Tunisia are also among the largest producers of dates.

date harvest

The date harvest usually takes place in the autumn months, between September and December depending on the region. The harvest is usually done by hand, as date palms grow very tall and the fruit must be handled carefully to avoid damage. After harvesting, the dates are often dried, which extends their shelf life and intensifies their flavor.

After the harvest, dates are either dried or, as in our case, immediately packaged and cooled when fresh.

How the Bear Got the Date

The history of its creation

The origin of the name "DATTELBÄR" is closely linked to the beginnings of Dominik Gräf's date distribution business in Vienna. As enthusiasm for the Sukkary dates he imported grew, Dominik began to organize bulk orders for friends and acquaintances. To cope with demand, he set up a mobile collection station - his trunk in Vienna. Dominik's striking appearance at the time, with long hair and a full beard, shaped the image of this collection station. In one of these moments, he was called "DATTELBÄR" by an enthusiastic customer as she picked up her order. This nickname reflected not only his outward appearance, but also the warmth and naturalness with which he ran his business. This incident marked the beginning of DATTELBÄR as a brand.
