100% Australian made, grown and owned

Over 20 years ago a seed was planted – the idea to turn our family’s seaside farm in Port Elliot, South Australia, into an organic Carob orchard. Since then, one tree has turned into many, and the Carob Kitchen was born.

Nurtured organically with nothing but love, sun and sea breezes, the Carob Kitchen is more than the sum of its parts, it’s family, and we are proud to call our farm home.

Why is carob better for you?

Most of you remember carob from your childhood, the chocolate substitute your parents gave you, but did you know carob is actually a naturally sweet fruit grown on trees?

Long treasured in ancient cultures for its health benefits, carob has made a revival in recent years thanks to the health food movement and can now be found in supermarkets and gourmet kitchens across the globe, including Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the USA. The process of producing pure carob all begins with a lot of love and care in the orchard...

Finally, a healthy alternative to chocolate!

With a taste very similar to chocolate (or even better in our opinion!), carob has a number of health benefits. It is the perfect healthy chocolate alternative for those who’ve been struggling to find a sweet treat that’s free from added sugar. Not only does carob contain double the amount of calcium compared to cocoa, it is gluten free, cholesterol free and preservative free. Our healthy organic carob treats are also naturally low in fat and sodium, high in fibre and an excellent source of antioxidants. Discover our carob milk bar ranges today!

"So I impulsively bought my first bar of Carob Almond Bar at my Go Vita... Ummm I'm in serious trouble! I lurve it so much! Nom nom nom. Then I was reading the back (of the box not plastic – yay) & saw your website. Now I know why it tastes so good you're a gorgeous family, putting your love into your product, it's easy to see that. Thank you."

"I absolutely love your banjo bears range so much so I think I’m an addict and have a ritual of getting a coffee a couple of days a week after work and my little bears. It started out as one but when you add mint I can’t resist or decide which to have so now I have doubles. I’m even partial to the coconut one even though I’m not usually a fan it’s such a subtle amount making it quite delicious. Other than to say how amazing these little guys are I wanted to know if any new flavours are in the making particularly orange flavoured which would be a match made in heaven. You’re not doing my weight loss any favours but it’s better than chocolate.

PS: If there is a BB anonymous group for addicts I might need to sign up"

"Hello Carob Kitchen team, a huge thank you from moi. I LOVE your milk Banjo Bears. They have literally saved me. I have an autoimmune illness and need to stay off sugar. However I was never able to relinquish my crown as 'Haighs Queen', so would continuously slip up and suffer the consequences. Since discovering Banjo Bears at our local health food store (Karingal in Frankston), I CANNOT tell you the difference they have made to my life. HUGE MEGA. Banjo bears are seriously satisfying! (funny how sugar makes you eat more of a product!) Please keep on producing this fabulous addition to my diet. Can't tell you the tears that streamed down me face when my husband presented me with two Banjo Bunny Eggs! So grateful as it made me feel normal! Big huge hugs to all the team."
