Our collaboration with Case Don Ignazio

This year, Ciokarrua has chosen Case Don Ignazio as the guardian of the Ciokarrua carob grove, a choice based on standards of quality, a controlled and organic supply chain, and an ethic of respect for natural and human resources. It is indeed essential for us at Ciokarrua to be able to select the finest Sicilian carobs to offer you a unique tasting experience.

Salvatore is the father of Case Don Ignazio, the head of the family and a father to the land. A farmer and son of nature, he carries on the family's organic farm together with his children Ignazio and Roberta, young, fresh and talented.

If you happen to pass through Case Don Ignazio, you will feel as though time stands still, your breathing grows lighter and your eyes fill with wonder. The colours of the open countryside and the shifting hues where rock meets earth become almost a state of peace and serenity.

The carob trees stretch out free of every constraint, ready to create an expanse of shade and light.

At carob harvest time, even the scent becomes unique: you can sense the living fermentation of the carob in the air, and it draws you in until the temptation to taste it becomes irresistible. We invite you to savour the first notes of the ripening carob; it is a magical, unprecedented experience that will bind you to an unforgettable memory.

Case Don Ignazio safeguards biodiversity, a true bio-park where aromatic herbs, vegetables, olive trees, almond trees and carob trees mark the cycles of time and the seasons.

Respect for nature and for the cycles of time, the choice to carry on artisanal processes made of gestures and of people, and a passion for a special fruit like the carob all weave together the story of Ciokarrua and Case Don Ignazio. The care and respect shown to this fruit, and the absence of pesticides and other chemical agents, guarantee us an organic carob whose pulp, rich in fibre and naturally sweet, is used in the exclusive Ciokarrua products: wholesome, delicious and organic.
