Exquisite carob products from Morocco

Morocco is the world's largest carob cultivation area, supplying over 40% of the global supply. Nordmann partner Carob Ingredients operates several production facilities in Morocco and produces three different categories of raw materials there, which are explained in more detail below.

Roasted Carob Powder - RCP (cocoa substitute)

Thanks to its organoleptic properties, high sugar content and cost-effectiveness, roasted carob powder is a natural cocoa substitute. It can be obtained from the dried pods of the carob tree. Carob Ingredients produces light, medium and dark roasts. These are ideal for use in fine baked goods or cocoa drinks.
