The most expensive date in the world is the Judean Date which was resurrected from the dead (literally)-- the Judean Date palm was extinct for over 1,500 years until now. So we went to the most southern part of Israel to interview Dr. Solowey and get a few dates to sample. We were so shocked that we've decided to run a blind tasting experiment to compare this date to the modern dates. The results are incredible!
