Carob molasses is a thick syrup made by soaking milled carob pods in water and reducing the extracted liquid.
It is produced in large quantities in the area of Iqleem el Kharrub (the district of Carob), located in the foothills of the Shuf mountain district south of Beirut.
The carob tree has a history of use dating back to ancient times. It is also known as St John's bread for it is said that John the Baptist survived in the desert by eating carob.
Carob molasses is used as an alternative to sugar or even chocolate. Mixed and served with tahini or sesame paste, for example, it is still eaten as a dessert called dibs bi tahini.
Carob molasses is used for digestive problems, heartburn, may reduce cholesterol and helps lower blood sugar.

Ancient Tree was born from a lifelong passion for flavor and authenticity. For over 53 years, our family ran a restaurant where every dish was crafted with only the finest, most natural ingredients. Guests often asked us what made our food so unforgettable — the answer was always simple: quality. With a deep love for honest flavors and a commitment to tradition, we created Ancient Tree to share those same top-notch ingredients beyond our restaurant doors. Today, we work hand in hand with dedicated farms in Lebanon, supporting local growers who nurture the land and harvest with care. Every bottle of olive oil, every jar of molasses, and every olive we offer carries not just the taste of purity, but the story of heritage, community, and a promise to bring the best of nature to your table. The Ancient Tree Family.
