Jallab date syrup 600ml

This authentic Jallab syrup from Kassatly Chtaura is a staple of Lebanese and Levantine kitchens. Made primarily from dates, it delivers deep caramel sweetness with subtle molasses-like notes and a gently smoky depth. Traditionally diluted with cold water and served over ice, Jallab is often finished with pine nuts or raisins and enjoyed as a refreshing drink, especially during Ramadan and warmer months.

Beyond drinks, Jallab syrup is wonderfully versatile. It can be drizzled over desserts, stirred into yoghurt, used as a natural sweetener for smoothies, or incorporated into baking and sauces where a deep, date-rich sweetness is desired. Its concentrated nature means a little goes a long way, making it both flavourful and economical.

Extra product tips:

Shake well before use as natural settling may occur. For a classic serve, mix 1 part syrup with 4–5 parts cold water, add ice, and garnish with pine nuts or raisins.

Great paired with:

Jallab is not only a popular refreshment but also holds cultural significance in Middle Eastern traditions. It’s especially prevalent during the hot summer months and is often enjoyed during festive occasions and family gatherings. The addition of pine nuts and raisins is more than just a garnish; it reflects the region’s rich history of incorporating nuts and dried fruits into beverages and dishes for added nutrition and flavour.
