 The Carob is one of the oldest plants on earth and is classified as a member of the Leguminosia family. Amongst the people it is also known as "harnup" and "boynuz".

The Carob is a typical plant of regions which have Mediterranean climatic conditions. Southern Anatolia, Syria, Israel and Libya can be regarded as its homeland. In Turkey Carob is produced naturally along a coastal strip of approximately 1900 km in length around Tarsus, Mersin, Silifke, Gülnar, Anamur, Antalya, Demre and Datça.

Various domestic and wild varieties grow in Turkey. If we look at the past of the Carob, although it has only been used in bakery products in Britain for the past 20 years, the history of its use stretches back to the ancient Egyptians. In addition, the Romans are known to have eaten this plant when green because of its natural sugar content.

After soaking for 8 hours in hot water, cleaned seedless carob pieces of good quality and with a high sugar content are pressed for their juice and ALDERA Carob Molasses of a standard 70 brix (consistency) is obtained by reducing the water volume in a vacuum at a temperature of 60-65 C. Because traditional molasses is boiled at 100 C, nutrients (vitamins and minerals) are lost. Carob Molasses is pure with no additives and is prepared from carob pods. It is produced in a fully automated system, untouched by human hand and is vacuum packed..
