Mazafati / Rotab Bam — The Premium Wet Date
Mazafati is one of Iran's most prized date varieties, cultivated mainly in the Bam region of Kerman Province. Mazafati is known as a rotab date — harvested at the fresh, wet stage rather than dried. It is dark, nearly glossy black, very soft and fleshy, with intense sweetness and notes of caramel and molasses. As a direct date importer, we bring authentic Mazafati with proper cold-chain handling.
What Is Rotab?
Rotab is the fresh, juicy ripe stage of the date fruit before it dries. Just as grapes become raisins, dried rotab becomes ordinary dried dates. Mazafati rotab has high moisture (around 32-35%), which is what makes it so soft and wet.
Important: Cold Chain Required
Because of its high moisture, fresh Mazafati must be kept cold (around -5°C to 0°C) to preserve freshness and prevent fermentation. We handle fresh Mazafati with a cold chain from import through to the warehouse. For more flexible distribution we also offer a dry version (lower moisture) that keeps better at room temperature.

FAQ
What is the difference between fresh and dry Mazafati?
Fresh Mazafati (rotab) has high moisture and is very soft and wet but must be kept cold. The dry version has lower moisture, so it keeps better at room temperature and is more flexible to distribute.
Why must fresh Mazafati be refrigerated?
Because of its high moisture (around 32-35%), fresh Mazafati can ferment if not kept cold. Storage around -5°C to 0°C preserves its freshness and texture.
What is rotab?
Rotab is the fresh, juicy ripe stage of a date before it dries. Mazafati is harvested at this rotab stage, which is why its texture is so soft and wet.
Is fresh delivery outside the city possible?
For the fresh version we recommend coordinating cold-chain delivery, especially within Jabodetabek. For longer distances the dry version is recommended as it keeps better.
Can I buy wholesale for my cafe in South Jakarta?
Yes. We supply wholesale Mazafati to cafes, restaurants, and shops across all of Jabodetabek including South Jakarta, from our Cakung warehouse in East Jakarta.
