Carob honey, a type of honey, is derived from the essence of carob trees. Being a monofloral honey type, it is produced exclusively by worker bees maturing from a single flower. Because it is produced from only one flower, it has a dominant carob aroma. This honey type is also known as carob honey. It distinguishes itself from other honey types by its color, scent, consistency, and taste.
It particularly offers a different taste to honey enthusiasts. Harvested mainly during the autumn season, carob honey is generally obtained in October and November. The region where carob honey is produced is known as the Mediterranean Region. Especially in Mersin, located in the highlands of the Toros Mountains, this tree species is frequently encountered. The Mediterranean Region is generally suitable for carob honey production due to its sunny weather and mineral-rich dry soil.
Being a rare type of honey, the value of carob honey is high. Carob honey produced in the highest altitudes of the Toros Mountains, where agricultural activities do not take place, is 100% natural.
It is particularly important for carob honey to contain rich calcium, vitamins, and minerals. It is known to help prevent tooth and gum diseases due to its calcium content. Carob honey, which has a dark color, has a fluid consistency. Therefore, it can be spread on bread or consumed as a sweetener.
