Mariami Piarom Dates — Premium "Chocolate Dates" from Iran
Mariami Piarom dates — known as "chocolate dates" — are premium semi-dry dates from southern Iran, specifically the Hajiabad area of Hormozgan Province. They are elongated (3–5 cm), thin-skinned, dark brown to black, with a rich caramel-toffee flavour and chocolate notes. Piarom's semi-dry texture sits in the middle: not as soft as Mazafati, not as dry as Zahidi — delivering a distinctive eating experience. At Kilang Kurma, we bring Piarom in Grade A and AAA VIP to premium date lovers across Greater Jakarta.
Why Are They Called "Chocolate Dates"?
The nickname comes from two things: the dark brown to black colour resembling chocolate, and a caramel-toffee flavour with a cocoa-like complexity rarely found in other date varieties. The name "Mariami" refers to Maryam (Mary) and carries cultural-religious significance in Iran.

- Lower sugar: as a semi-dry date, Piarom is relatively lower in sugar than very sweet moist dates.
- Long shelf life: its low moisture keeps it durable without extreme refrigeration.
Nutritional Value
As a semi-dry date, Piarom is rich in fibre, potassium, magnesium and antioxidants, with a milder natural sweetness. It is ideal as a premium snack, an energy source, or a natural sweetener for dishes. Still enjoy it in moderation due to its natural sugar.
