In Israel’s southern desert, date palms draw their strength from dry air, intense sun, and carefully managed water. In the Jordan Valley, these conditions shape fruit that develops depth and concentration before it is harvested and prepared.
This syrup is made from those dates alone, pressed and reduced into a thick, dark liquid that pours slowly and settles with weight. The texture is smooth and cohesive, coating surfaces evenly whether drizzled or spread.
The flavor opens deep and rounded, with the natural richness of the date at its center. It unfolds gradually, maintaining clarity without becoming sharp, and leaves a lasting finish that stays present without overwhelming what it is paired with.
Neot Semadar produces this silan from organically grown dates, working within a desert agricultural system that requires precision at every stage of growth. The result reflects that environment, where each harvest is shaped by the conditions it comes from.
Use it over yogurt, into cooked dishes, or alongside savory foods where a concentrated date syrup adds depth. It integrates easily and holds its presence without masking other elements.
From Israel’s desert agriculture, this syrup places the date in its most concentrated and usable form.

Organic Date Syrup (Silan) – Neot Semadar, Israel
Kibbutz Neot Smadar was established in 1986 by a group of friends with an interest in organic farming. (A kibbutz is a communal farm. The first kibbutz was established in Israel in 1909) The friends established their kibbutz in the southern Negev Desert 60 km north of Eilat and over the years they have coaxed the desert to bloom by cultivating an oasis of fruit trees, and vegetables.
Over the years they developed knowledge of the delicate ecosystem that experiences extreme temperatures and very little rainfall. Undaunted by the rocky desert soil they have cultivated 400 acres of land where they grow dates, olives, almonds, and a variety of fruit trees.
In addition to their flowering trees, the vibrant organic farm also raises goats for yogurts and cheese and a vineyard for making wine and has a vibrant community of artists who work in a variety of mediums creating beautiful functional art.
This small cooperative farm has developed an international reputation for the sweetest fruits, delicious olive oils, nectars, jams, and dried fruits.
Mordechai Corcos is an artist for Kibbutz Neot Smadar. He is a jeweler by profession who draws his inspiration from the soulful Negev Desert which surrounds the kibbutz. He is known for crafting unique Judaica, silver utensils, and restoration artifacts.
