Barhi dates · Wholesale
Fresh Barhi dates from Egypt, for the German market.
Luxor Orient is ready to supply fresh Barhi dates from Egypt to Germany – typically at the yellow, crisp Khalal stage, on the strands. Availability, quantities and packing are confirmed on request.
What distinguishes the fresh Barhi date.
The Barhi date – also sold as Barhee – is typically eaten fresh while it is still at the yellow, crisp Khalal stage. The taste is sweet, with a slightly astringent note. Unlike the soft, fully ripe Medjool, the fruit stays firm and juicy at this stage.
That is why the goods are delicate: they are not a storeable dried fruit, but a fresh fruit with a short trading window.
Origin, season and cold chain
The goods come from Egypt. The typical season for fresh Barhi is short and falls roughly between August and October; that is a usual calendar, not a fixed date for any one shipment.
Packing
The goods typically travel on the strands in export cartons. Other packing is possible by arrangement. Weight, carton size and palletisation are given on request.
Cold chain
Fresh Barhi dates are perishable. An unbroken cold chain is essential. The transport route – by sea in a reefer container or, where shelf life requires it, by air freight – is agreed with you before the order.
Availability
What we announce here is our readiness to supply, not a permanently stocked quantity in Frankfurt. Availability and volumes follow from the short season and are confirmed on request.
