Have heard from 2 sources.( 1 being the Moli D'oli ).....18 cents a kilo,thats a 3rd less than last year and there's not as many on the trees.Can anybody beat that ???!!!!

Looks like the Aston will have to wait till next year.

Hi Notrob

We went into Sol D'Ebre yesterday, Sign on the Till said 20 centimos a kg

Tim

20 cents - we dream of 20 cents - not even taking them here in Camarles, according to our neighbour.

Ah well - less to do at the moment - maybe leave it 'til December when thay are all down, and see if the price improves.
If not, then store them 'til next year.

I have now found out why the carob prices have dropped!! :'( :'(

Like Sainsbuggers Morrisons and Tesco, all major users negotiate down their buy prices every year >:( >:(

And McDonalds is no exception to the rule, so this year they must be buying their Carob Gum from Spain
