Gato dates

Los Angeles, CA

Gato dates is a natural products brand from Los Angeles, CA with 7 products on Beacon Discovery, mostly shelf stable candy. 7 are Certified Organic and 2 Certified Plant Based, and its range is distributed by Not in Distribution.

Gato was founded in 2024 with the goal of reimagining indulgence for the modern consumer. The brand began as a personal kitchen experiment - creating a treat that felt truly indulgent while still aligning with a mindful, feel-good way of eating. What started as a single stuffed Medjool date coated in dark chocolate quickly resonated with friends, customers, and retail partners alike. That early response inspired Gato to grow into a premium, better-for-you indulgence brand designed for gifting, everyday enjoyment, and everything in between.
