Furthermore, Horchani Dattes TM is the inheritor of an ancestral tradition left to it by generations followed generations in the Horchani family who have grown dates for more than two centuries, that divine fruit, the source of life in the desert. It is a family-owned and managed enterprise which has been founded upon the exploitation of the largest plantation of date palms in the Tunisian Sahara, located in the valley of Saba Abar, in the hear of Djerid Oasis.

It is there that Horchani Dattes TM’ family has been devoted, since the 19th century, to growing several varieties of thousand-year-old dates peculiar to the region. These dates are absolutely unique in terms of appearance, taste, swell and quality, which ranks them, today, as the best in the world.
