Just off the road from Limassol to Paphos is the picturesque village of Anogyra, which has been growing carob trees for longer than anyone can remember.
Carob thrives on the arid slopes that descend to the sea and the sweet flesh of the pods that they produce are boiled into a syrup for pastelli, the local sweet. It’s a kind of toffee with a faintly bitter flavour.
