WHAT IS CAROB?
Carobs are a brown, leguminous pod which grow on a carob tree (ceratonia siliqua) and hang from the branches of the tree in bunches. They are very rich in fibre, nutrients, polyphenols, and natural low-GI sugars. From the point of flowering, it takes 11 months for the carobs pods to mature on the tree ready for harvesting.
WHY DO YOUR PRODUCTS TASTE SO GOOD?
We know you expect the best and that is why we are very conscious about quality and cleanliness. Every carob pod is washed in rain water so it’s nice and clean and processed with love and care. Due to us planting and caring for every tree, it’s a real delight to see them happily producing pods which we preciously care for from the paddock to the pack.
ARE YOU CERTIFIED ORGANIC?
Yes we are 100% Certified Organic and Non GMO Certified.
DO ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS HAVE ANY ADDED SWEETENERS, ADDITIVES OR PRESERVATIVES?
No. The sweetness is 100% natural due to the varieties of carobs we have planted. We do not add any additives, colors or preservatives to our products. We love our carob trees and give every carob pod the best quality care possible, to taste great and to be appreciated when consumed like it deserves.
DO ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS CONTAIN HEAVY METALS? HAVE THEY BEEN TESTED?
No. We have each of our carob batches tested for heavy metals, such as cadmium, mercury, lead, and arsenic. We do not operate in an industrial area and the land has not previously been used for any heavy industrial purpose and therefore, do not expect this to change.
ARE YOU CERTIFIED KOSHER AND HALAL?
Yes. We maintain these certifications via annual auditing with ease due to our processing facility being utilized for carob only, not using any additives throughout our processing line, treating our carob with respect through each step of the process, and our products being 100% carob based (with exception of filtered water being used in the carob syrup manufacturing process).
WHICH PARTS OF THE WORLD DO YOU SEND YOUR PRODUCTS TO?
Our largest customers are in Australia and The United States of America. We do sell some product into Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Korea, and other countries. We are open to sending our products to any country, however, we find travel costs prohibitive. Generally, a minimum purchase of at least one pallet (800kg of bulk powdered products or less when purchasing in retail sizes) is recommended to make the import/export process financially feasible.
