Cypriot Carob: A Timeless Treasure with a 7,000-Year Story 🌳🇨🇾
Around 7,000 years ago, during the Neolithic period, Cyprus’s earliest inhabitants discovered the nutritional value of wild carob and made it part of their daily diet.
Around 4,000 years ago, the ancient Cypriots began planting and cultivating carob trees in a more organised way and on a wider scale.
Since then, the carob tree has taken deep root in the Cypriot landscape, becoming an inseparable part of the island’s history, traditions and food culture.
Today, carob is celebrated around the world for its remarkable nutritional value. With its exceptional quality, rich flavour and centuries-old heritage, Cypriot carob remains a true treasure of the island, nourishing and strengthening generation after generation.
