The Three-Item Assortment
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Sha'atha | Mashed dates blended with aqt and butter, with a creamy smooth texture and rich flavor combining date sweetness with aqt's savory notes |
| Plain Aqt | A traditional dried fermented dairy product, characterized by its firm texture and distinctive tangy flavor that harmonizes with the sweetness of dates |
| Aqt with Dates | Aqt wrapped around a filling of premium Saudi dates, delivering a perfectly balanced and integrated flavor experience |
What is Aqt?
Aqt (also known as Qarish or dried cheese) is a traditional dairy product made from sheep, goat, or camel milk. The milk is boiled and acidified using natural agents (such as vinegar or buttermilk) until it curdles, then strained, pressed, and sun-dried until it develops a firm texture and distinctive tangy flavor. Aqt is one of the oldest dairy products in the Arabian Peninsula, used as a staple food for travelers and Bedouins due to its long preservation without refrigeration and its high protein and energy content. In Saudi heritage, aqt is served as a light snack with dates or used in traditional dishes, and it remains an integral part of Saudi hospitality identity.
What is Sha'atha?
Sha'atha is one of the most famous traditional sweets in the Arabian Gulf region, also known as "Ma'joun" or "Tamriyya." It is made from mashed dates blended with aqt (dried qarish) and butter, mixed thoroughly until it becomes creamy and smooth. It is named Sha'atha because it is "shathed" (crumbled) with fingers when served. Sha'atha is distinguished by its unique flavor that combines date sweetness, aqt's saltiness, and butter's richness, making it a rich and nutritious snack. It is an essential dish in Saudi hospitality gatherings during celebrations and special occasions.
What is Aqt with Dates?
Aqt with Dates is a heritage innovation combining dried aqt with premium dates, where aqt is wrapped around a date filling to create a harmonious blend of contrasting yet complementary flavors. The sweetness of dates meets the distinctive tanginess of aqt to form a unique and balanced flavor experience, embodying the genius of traditional Saudi cuisine in combining simple ingredients in exceptional ways. Aqt with dates is a healthy and nutritious choice, bringing together aqt's protein and dates' carbohydrates in one bite, served as an appetizer or light dessert in gatherings.
