The taste of carob in its purest form

Three stages to truly savour it, from the opening to the finish.

3On the finish

Aromas of molasses, date, honey

Bring the bar to your nose and you'll catch a warm, toasted note, with hints of molasses, date and honey. It's the natural aroma of carob in its purest form.

Velvety, naturally sweet

Cocoa butter makes it velvety on the palate. The sweetness comes entirely from the fruit: it contains no added sugar. Notes of dried figs and dates unfold slowly.

Persistent and clean

The finish lingers, with hints of ripe fruit. A natural sweetness that dissolves without aftertaste, leaving only the memory of the fruit.

The Mediterranean SUPERFOOD back on the table.

The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) has grown in the Sicilian countryside since the ancient Mediterranean. 80% of Italian production comes from the provinces of Ragusa and Siracusa: a Sicilian pride.

From folk memory to rediscovery

In Sicily they called it the poor man's chocolate, the animal-feed tree that few paid attention to. The Cicero family saw its hidden potential: years of experimentation dedicated to rediscovering its taste and its dignity.

Today that fruit is the taste of Sicily in its purest form, and it's the heart of Carrubato di Sicilia®

DID YOU KNOW

Every carob holds the carats, seeds that all share the same weight. In ancient times they were used as a unit of measure for gold and precious stones.

IN THE WORDS OF THE INVENTOR OF CIOKARRUA

«Years of experimentation dedicated to celebrating carob have brought us here. Carrubato di Sicilia® isn't chocolate, it's much more: a new category, made from an ingredient that has always been Sicilian. Innovation within tradition, always.»
