Piarom Dates from Iran 'The Chocolate Date' 500g / 1kg

Piarom Dates — Iran's Chocolate Date for Connoisseurs

Of all the varieties entering the Indonesian date market, Piarom dates may be the one that most often wins people over at first bite. Nicknamed the chocolate date, Piarom grows on the slopes of the Hajiabad area in Hormozgan Province, southern Iran. It is long and slender, deep dark brown, with a thin skin that clings perfectly to the flesh — the mark of quality, naturally dried Piarom.

Toffee-Caramel Taste, Not Actual Chocolate

The chocolate-date nickname comes from its flavor profile, not its ingredients: a dark caramel sweetness reminiscent of toffee with a finish like chocolate caramel — deep, never sharp, never cloying. Its sweetness is more restrained than wet dates, which makes it taste refined. That is why Piarom is often called the connoisseur's date.

Why Is Piarom Still Rare in Indonesia?

BPS data records Iran supplying just 2,535 tons of dates to Indonesia in 2025 — around 4–5 percent of national imports — and Piarom is only a small slice of that, since most of the Piarom harvest is absorbed by premium markets in the Middle East and Europe. The result: this variety is barely touched by mainstream traders in Indonesia. Lumbung Kurma Indonesia brings it in for those seeking an experience beyond the popular varieties.

Quick Specifications

A Companion for Coffee, Tea, and the Cheese Board

Piarom earns its place at any table: pair it with unsweetened espresso or traditional kopi tubruk, warm plain tea, or cheese for a sweet-savory contrast. As a gift, our premium pouch delivers an exclusive impression unlike the usual date hampers.

Semi-Dry Means Long-Lasting and Travel-Safe

With lower moisture, Piarom keeps at cool room temperature for up to 6 months and chilled for up to 12 months — no drama. It is one of the safest varieties for date delivery across Indonesia: from our Cakung, East Jakarta warehouse, packages reach Medan, Balikpapan, Makassar, even Jayapura in prime condition. Jabodetabek customers — Jakarta, Bekasi, Depok, Tangerang, Bogor — still enjoy same-day delivery.

Storing and Serving Piarom Properly

Keep Piarom in an airtight container in a cool spot and away from direct sunlight, which over-dries its thin skin. Before serving guests, let it rest briefly at room temperature so the toffee aroma opens fully — the small detail that marks a connoisseur's table. For gifts, include a small card on how to enjoy it; recipients new to Piarom will value that guidance more than the ribbon on the box.

At our granary, every Piarom arrival passes an appearance and moisture selection before packing: dull, over-dry, or skin-blemished fruit is set aside from the premium line. That is why our Piarom pouches stay consistent from your first purchase to your tenth — a consistency hard to find in a market still discovering this variety, and the reason many customers make it a monthly subscription alongside their favorite coffee.
