Natural products in Cyprus
Carob products are common in Mediterranean countries and especially in Cyprus, known worldwide as a manufacturer of high-quality products from the fruit of the tree.
The limestone land of Cyprus promotes optimal growth of the carob trees and produces delicious products. Cypriot carob trees contain more than 50% natural sugar, which is why there is a high demand on the international market for production of this fruit.
