Carob Balsamic
Our Carob Balsamic is an artisan condiment obtained by slowly cooking and reducing carob juice extracted from the pods of centuries-old trees on our estate on the hills of Ragusa. Iblean carob, ripened under the sun of the Iblean lands, gives the condiment an inimitable sweet-sour balance with deep notes of caramel, date, dried fig and a hint of liquorice. The consistency is dense and silky, perfect for drizzling over salads, aged cheeses, artisan gelato and fish carpaccios. Unlike conventional balsamic condiments made from grape must, ours uses exclusively carob, offering a one-of-a-kind aromatic profile and an original alternative for creative cuisine.

Mediterranean Salad with Carob Balsamic
Assemble a salad with rocket, cherry tomatoes, Tropea red onion, olives and shavings of salted ricotta. Dress with Tenuta Chiaramonte extra virgin olive oil and finish with a drizzle of carob balsamic. The sweet-sour condiment heightens the freshness of the ingredients.
Gelato with Carob Balsamic Drizzle
Serve a scoop of cream or Sicilian pistachio gelato and finish with a spoonful of carob balsamic. The contrast between the cold gelato and the warm, caramelised notes of the balsamic creates a refined, surprising dessert. For an extra touch, add crushed toasted almonds.
