What is carob?
Native to the Mediterranean and Middle East, the flowering evergreen carob tree is the big daddy of the legume family. Closely related to peas, beans, soy and lentils, the ornamental trees are tolerant to drought, rocky arid soil and salt – making them perfect for the coastal climate of South Australia.
Once fertilised, carob trees produce an abundance of large pods filled with pulp and beans which we harvest each year at our family farm. Selected for their natural sweetness and taste, our orchard is home to seven different carob varieties which we blend to create the perfect flavour. After harvesting, the seeds are dried, kibbled, roasted and milled ready to create our delicious carob treats.
