About us
GA Torres is a company with more than 50 years of experience working with carob beans. It is run by the third generation of the Torres family and has different production sites in Valencia (Spain) and its agricultural surroundings.
The company began its journey by carrying out a very basic production process, cutting up the carob beans for animal consumption, while separating their seeds (garrofín) for industrial use.
In 1983, GA Torres changed its activity and began to add value to its work, calibrating and separating the different granulometries of the chopped carob beans, to be exported to different countries in Europe and the USA. Later, it increased its activity by diversifying the product, generating a thermal and micronized process to specialize in carob powder.
Since 1985, we have been specialising in roasted carob flour, whose raw material is the pulp that is roasted and ground to produce roasted carob flour. The product is consumed in more than 40 countries.
In the 1990s we gained experience in the production of carob gum for pets. Today we are able to offer any viscosity range for human consumption.
Since 2014, GA Torres has its new factory and internal laboratory for the production of carob gum.
