In Israel, silan lives on the counter, not tucked away into the pantry. It is poured into tahini, stirred into tea, brushed onto roasted vegetables, and spooned over yogurt without a second thought. Aunt Berta’s Date Syrup is made for that kind of use. Thick, dark, and glossy, it comes from whole dates that are slowly cooked down until their natural sugars concentrate into a deep, molasses-like syrup that reflects the date palms growing across the Jordan Valley and southern regions of the country.

This silan is made from dates only, with no added sugar, no preservatives, and no flavoring. The texture is dense and smooth, designed to flow easily from the bottle while staying rich on the spoon. The flavor opens with caramel and dried fruit, then settles into a clean, rounded sweetness that works equally well in cooking and at the table. It is sweet without sharpness, grounding dishes without domination.

The bottle itself is shaped for daily use, stored upside down so the syrup is ready to pour. Aunt Berta prepares this syrup that’s meant to be used generously and often – replacing refined sugar in both traditional and modern cooking. Bring home a true essential of Israeli kitchens.
