Boutique culinary atelier in Tel Aviv and New York, creating unique superfood desserts with Medjool dates

What makes our dates unique

We work with organic dates as a natural superfood base, and elevate them through mindful pairings

ONLY ORGANIC

We use organic dates from Neot Semadar, where palms grow in hot, dry desert climate and farm’s organic rules ban synthetic fertilizers and support safe soil health

Nutrient-Rich

Dates itself is a natural source of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fiber. We pair them with fats, proteins, nuts, fruits, spices and botanicals

Pure Ingredients

No added sugar. No preservatives. Sweetened only with whole dates

We craft our handmade desserts to offer people an act of care and connection with slow food and pleasure. We love to create meaningful moments for others.

Dear Dates, you're not just a fruit — you're a sun-kissed mineral-packed, vitamin-loaded miracle that makes our dreams come true

OUR JOURNEY

BEGAN

With a question: “How can we discover feelings through taste? And invent tastes that touch people?

Our Story

We met in 2023, of all ways, through a Facebook carpool post. We had tickets to the same festival. Three hours in the car later, we both knew — we had met before. Somewhere, in some other life, we already knew each other. And we definitely were made for each other to have fun and laugh a lot together.
We started sharing friendship, experiences, boutique festivals, dreams and now — our beloved project

Anastasia

I’ve always been a picky eater, since my childhood. Heavy meals overwhelm me and boring food has always felt like a small punishment. For years I was searching: what do I eat that's actually good — for my body, for my energy and mood and for the moment I’m in? The answer instinctively came in Israel. An open Medjool date as a base, raw tahini and caramelized pecan on top. No cooking, no baking, just a few ingredients that understood each other

Katerina

I had just landed in Tel Aviv, once again, after a long flight from New York. Anastasia had left something for me in our shared apartment — no note, no explanation. Just a date, cut in half, drizzled with tahini, a caramelized pecan on top, frozen just right. I took one bite and it felt like a sister's hug. And then the light in my head comes on: “We have to share this with the world”

Senses first

That’s how Date Alchemy was born. From a sisterhood, the first frozen date that was like the first thread and then whole thing unraveled — beautifully

Then everything else

We started our experiment. Mixing flavors and textures from different cultures, shared among friends, at gatherings, festivals. And every time someone took a bite and looked up with that expression — Wow! Wait, what is this? — we'd laugh and say: “Don't ask. Date her. Taste her."
