The carob tree has been known for at least 4000 years and is probably the most emblematic tree in the Algarve. Carob honey has a dark color, thick texture and chocolatey aroma with a slightly bitter aftertaste. It is a unique and delicious honey.

The collection of this honey takes place from late May to mid-July, resting until September/October, after which it is centrifuged and packed in glass jars.

Carob is often used as a healthy substitute for chocolate, as it lacks caffeine and has less fat.

Benefits

Therapeutically, it helps to normalize intestinal and nervous system problems. Rich in antioxidants, honey helps to lower blood pressure, in addition to containing antimicrobial properties, fighting infections caused by fungi, viruses and bacteria and relieving sore throat and cough. It can be used as a natural sweetener. However, even with all these benefits, honey should be consumed in moderation. It is recommended to take 2 teaspoons of honey a day. It should not be given to children under one year of age.

Usage suggestions

It can be added to teas, juices, lemonades, cookies, cakes or other culinary recipes. Or used in masks for skin and hair.

Orders are normally dispatched by courier (DPD) and can be sent to any location in mainland Portugal or practically all countries within the European Community (see list). Unfortunately, due to very strict customs restrictions, we are no longer able to ship orders to the UK. This situation may change in the future, depending on the evolution of extra-community agreements. If you prefer, you can choose a collection point for your order. If the delivery is made in Albufeira, we will deliver it by hand free of charge.

An important point to highlight is the need to have the complete address and, above all, leave a contact telephone number for the country where the order is being sent. For example, if the shipping address is in France, the contact must be a telephone with a French code, not Portuguese, because the courier will only call a number in the country if he needs more information about the delivery location.

We only use cardboard boxes specially designed for postal shipping. Products are packaged and protected in the best possible way, using only recycled or recyclable material. The filling of the box is made from shreds of colored paper, which gives it a cheerful and appealing appearance. We believe, however, that the important thing is the quality of the content and not sophisticated packaging, which is often discarded immediately and ends up being another environmental pollutant. At the end of the year, there is the option of choosing a box with Christmas effects, but it is still made of recyclable cardboard.
