The Carob Kitchen

The Carob Kitchen Home of Banjo Bear & better for you chocolate grown & made with love in Port Elliott, South Australia. From our carob loving family to yours 🫶

Over 15 years ago on a lovely piece of land in sunny Port Elliot, South Australia, Ma and Pa Carob planted their first little Carob tree. Since then one became many and our Carob family was born. Each gorgeous tree has been nurtured with organic love and a sprinkling of water and now our little trees spend their time basking in sun, smelling the sweet sea breeze and checking out their amazing sea

views of the Fleurieu Peninsula (it’s all right for some!). All the while producing the much anticipated Carob Fruit.
