JARABE DE ALGARROBA ORGÁNICO AUSTRALIANO
It was carob pods – rather than locusts grasshopper that sustained John the Baptist while he lived in the wilderness preparing the way for the Messiah. Ceratonia siliqua, commonly known as the carob tree (from Arabic خَرُّوبٌ kharrūb and Hebrew חרוב haruv), St. John's-bread, or locust bean or simply locust-tree, is a species of flowering evergreen shrub or tree in the pea family, Fabaceae. It is widely cultivated for its edible pods, and as an ornamental tree in gardens. The ripe, dried pod is often ground into carob powder, which is used to replace cocoa-cacao powder.

Australian Certified Organic Carob (65%), water
Wow! The absolute best carob bars I’ve ever experienced. Truly superb — took my tastebuds & mind to a new level! Have yet to try the chips & syrup that I also purchased but I’ve no doubt that these products will prove equally exceptional. Other carobs are good but yours is otherworldly. I absolutely mean this! Don’t know how you achieved such a creamy, smooth, rich chocolatey taste. You all need to market your product more. Carob-eaters are really missing out if they don’t try your offerings. And thanks so much for adding 2 free bars to my order so I could sample the others. The mint was DIVINE! (Haven’t tried the plain one yet). And the Banana flavor I ordered was also delicious. Your flavorings do not overpower but perfectly compliment the carob. Don’t usually take time to write reviews but you all really deserve it. Great company! Love 💕 the cute Aussie shark on the packaging. You have made me a loyal customer. Wishing you continued success. (Would live to see more recipes!). Until my next order, take care, Mates!
I’ve just reordered some carob syrup. I started using it after my naturopathic doctor suggested this specific product to help me enjoy the sense of having a treat without eating chocolate. I prefer the flavor of this over roasted carob products. I use it stirred into almond milk or poured over sliced bananas, even drizzled over a toasted rice cake. So yes, I’m a big fan of the carob syrup.
