DAT’CHA introduces DAQAL: a new generation of Tunisian Deglet Nour at SIAL Paris 2026

For the first time, DAT’CHA, an emblematic brand established in the European market, will appear alongside DAQAL, its new premium signature. Two generations, one origin and a shared ambition: to bring a new expression of Tunisian Deglet Nour to international markets.

Hammamet, Tunisia – October 2026

Some brands are launched. Others are passed on.

At SIAL Paris 2026, Hammamet International Trading will bring DAT’CHA and DAQAL together on the same stand for the first time.

DAT’CHA carries a story built season after season: the story of a brand that has earned the trust of its European customers through consistent products, reliable service and deep knowledge of Tunisian Deglet Nour dates.

DAQAL was born from that legacy.

As with every successful transmission, DAQAL does not simply reproduce the generation that came before it. It preserves its origin, experience and standards while giving them a new expression—more contemporary, more premium and resolutely designed for international markets.

DAT’CHA passes on the legacy. DAQAL reimagines it.

Behind these two distinct identities lies the same commitment: carefully selected Tunisian Deglet Nour dates, consistent quality across batches and solutions tailored to the requirements of each market.

This expertise is particularly reflected in pitted dates, Hammamet International Trading’s flagship product. Through a specialized production organization, the company can offer new-crop pitted dates from October—a period when availability, capacity and consistency become critical to securing the season.

“With DAQAL, we are not closing the DAT’CHA chapter; we are writing its next one. Our ambition is to bring this heritage into a premium, international expression while preserving the standards that have earned the trust of our partners,” says Omar Chehida, Managing Director of Hammamet International Trading.

At SIAL Paris, visitors will have the opportunity to discover both brand universes, explore the company’s Deglet Nour ranges and discuss trial orders, customized packaging and private-label solutions.
