Carob is the evergreen tree found in the southern regions of Greece and particularly in Crete. During the war occupation of Crete, carob’s pods were dried and used as a chocolate substitute.

The tree flowers in autumn and bees collect its nectar producing one of the most rich and aromatic honeys you will ever taste.

Carob honey has a characteristic scent reminiscent of grassy lawn and its taste reminds of caramel and chocolate. It is indeed one of the most complex flavored honeys, which complements nicely a slice of matured cheese.

Accompanying its unique taste, is its exceptional amber colour, generally classifying it as a dark-colored honey.

The carob honey has a very short lifespan before it crystallizes, from 1 to 2 months, after its harvest. After the crystallization, it takes on a beautiful orange hue.
