CAROB TREE
Scientific name
Ceratonia siliqua
Description
The tree that knows everyone's name.
Majestic and silent, the carob tree sinks its roots into the rock and stretches its arms toward the sky. It is the symbol of strength and continuity.
Olfactory Path
Dense, sweet, earthy. The scent of community and of time standing still.
Curiosity
Under its shade, people rested, talked, and made decisions. Its sweet fruits were a snack and a comfort.
The seeds, perfectly equal, became a unit of measurement: the carat.
