Carob Cookies

Delicious, healthy carob cookies made with rich carob flour and black Greek Corinthian P.D.O. raisins.

When people in ancient Greece used carob seeds to measure the weight of gold, no one could imagine that after thousands of years, the word "carat," derived from the word "keration," meaning carob in ancient Greek, would continue to be used as the global unit for gold weight measurement.

Additionally, carob, often referred to as "the cocoa of the ancient Greeks," has been a healthy substitute for chocolate, having 60% fewer calories, no fats, and much more fibre.

Today, carob, which flourishes and is abundantly available in the southern Greek island of Crete, travels to northern Greece as a raw ingredient, blends with P.D.O. Corinthian raisins, and produces a new, premium, highly nutritional snack.
