Israel is famous for its dates. So famous, in fact, that it was included in the Bible as the seven species of the Land of Israel, along with wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, and olives. The dates in your Lev haOlam box come from Zerbib's company, who founded a date farm over 30 years ago near Vered Yeriho. Thanks to the climate and location near the Jordan Valley, the dates have a unique and delicious taste.
