Our Story

We love a good date - and a good dessert. But we’re not crazy about the sugar used in traditional sweets, so we decided to make our own.

We found inspiration in the date plant, which was brought to the United States by the renegade botanist (and our founder’s great-grandfather) Walter Tennyson Swingle.

Using a small amount of sugar made from American-grown dates, we created a candy line that’s sweet, but not too sweet. For added measure, we limited each product to five ingredients and selected the most healthful options we could (while maintaining the deliciousness of each candy!).

We hope you love Haute Date Candy as much as we do.
