or The Carob

Distant and in some ways still mysterious origins, carob is a symbol of nourishment and popular memory.

 

Carob is the fruit of an evergreen tree, the Carob (Ceratonia siliqua), widespread throughout the Mediterranean basin, but especially in Sicily. The fruit has the typical tapered shape, oblong, similar to a bean pod, when ripe it is brown in colour.

 

Each carob contains carats inside, flattened seeds, roundish, very hard, known for their curious property: they all have the exact same weight, so much so that they were used as a unit of measurement for gold.

 

Strongly linked to the memory of a more humble and simple living condition, in the logic of economic well-being and mass consumption, carob was put aside for a period, only to then be re-evaluated, both nationally and globally, thanks to its unique properties.

 

80% of carob production in Italy is grown in the provinces of Ragusa and Syracuse, Sicilian pride.

 

Its origins and the variety of its species are mysterious, a magical tree that tells of lived stories, which preserves the memory of the happy and blissful breathing of those who, maybe on a hot summer day, he enjoyed its cool shade and its unmistakable scent.

 

The carob tree is a strong tree, long-lived and luxuriant that does not require particular attention to grow. Just take a walk in the countryside surrounding Ciokarrua to be blissfully enchanted by the textures of these green foliage.

 

If you are in Modica you will definitely have to go and say hello to the "Carrubo di Caschetto", over a thousand years old, and the “Carob of Iozia”, with its six hundred years passed. While, in the Rosolini area, there is the "Carrubo di Favarotto" to which two thousand years of life are attributed.
