Carob Flour

Discover carob flour, a natural and healthy alternative to cocoa, made from the ripe pods of the Mediterranean carob tree.

Carob flour is obtained by drying and grinding the pulp of the pods of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), a typical tree of the Mediterranean climate. Its sweet taste, with toasted hints reminiscent of cocoa, makes it an excellent option for those looking to reduce sugar consumption or avoid caffeine.

Naturally gluten-free, rich in fiber and antioxidants, and with a low fat content, carob flour is ideal for baking, smoothies, yogurts, or plant-based beverages.

Origin and production

Our product comes from small producers from the Spanish Mediterranean coast, where the carob tree grows in dry and sunny soils, without the need for additional irrigation.
The pods are harvested once ripe, carefully dried, and ground to obtain a fine, aromatic, and sweet powder, without additives or added sugars.

Differences with conventional cocoa

• Naturally sweet: it does not need added sugar thanks to its natural content of simple sugars.

• No caffeine or theobromine: perfect for those looking for an alternative to cocoa without stimulants.

• More digestible: its high content of soluble fiber helps digestion and provides a feeling of satiety.

• Sustainable: carob cultivation requires very little water and favors soil conservation in arid areas.

Uses in the kitchen

• Substitute for cocoa powder in desserts, cakes, and cookies.

• Natural sweetener for yogurts, smoothies, or porridge.

• Ideal for making spreadable creams and plant-based beverages with a toasted and aromatic touch.
