TUNIS
DATES
An integral part of oasis zones for millennia, date cultivation is now booming in Tunisia. In a fragile political and economic context, agriculture is considered an essential part of revitalising the national economy, and the date, a high added-value product dedicated to the export sector, is at the centre of this strategy. The particularly prized Deglet Nour variety currently accounts for the majority of production, and makes NSR Alpha the main supplier to the Malaysian market.

Deglet Nour
Deglet Nour (Arabic: دقلة نور "translucent" or "date of light"); also Deglet Noor is a cultivar of date.
Commonly referred to as the "queen of all dates", the authentic Algerian and Tunisian Deglet Nour has a soft touch, a translucent light color and a soft honey-like taste, characteristics which distinguish it from other dates. By comparison, Deglet Noor dates are less sweet, and contain about 20 calories each.
