72% Cacao

Our ingredients are natural, organic, and minimally processed to deliver as much goodness as possible. Our Premium unroasted cacao comes from sustainable smallholdings in Ecuador.

Most chocolate contains cacao roasted at high heat which destroys many of it’s healthy properties. Instead of roasting we use only the finest unroasted cacao, processed at lower temperatures. This means that we’re able to pass on the many amazing properties of cacao to our wonderful customers.

A flavanol is a type of flavonoid found in cacao. Flavonoids are antioxidant compounds which are believed to protect against cell damage. Research shows that the flavanols in cacao can help to lower blood pressure, promote normal blood clotting function and - as part of a healthy diet and exercise routine - help to decrease the risk of heart disease.

Our supply chain manager in Ecuador collaborates closely with farmers cooperatives to help us source from regions with low lead and cadmium levels. We can confirm that all our test results show that Ombar chocolate products meet the (EC) No 488/2014 regulation.

Yes, we are certified fair trade by Fair for Life. We even pay more than the fair trade recommended price for our cacao. We’re proud to work closely with our suppliers to ensure everyone, from farmers to exporters, are compensated fairly and we have our own representative in Ecuador, Paola, who oversees this for us.

Unfortunately, due to stricter customs regulations imposed since Brexit, our team has been unable to send orders from our online store overseas without facing expensive customs and duties charges. Because of these complications, we’ve had to make the very difficult decision to stop shipping to international addresses for the foreseeable future. Don’t worry though, you can still buy Ombar abroad! We work with international distributors who help deliver Ombar to retailers around the world, from France to Australia!

Yes we can! Once you've added the products you're buying to the the cart, you'll see a field in the cart where you can type your gift message. We'll hand-write your message onto a special gift note and include it in the box, free of charge. If we can see that your order is a gift, then we won't include the printed receipt, but you'll still receive a receipt on email.

Quite simply, our chocolate costs more to make than many of the other brands on the market, this is because: We pay more for our cacao than both the commodity price and fair trade recommended price and we source the highest quality cacao we can find. We keep our cacao unroasted meaning our cacao growers follow specific and time-consuming steps to ensure excellent quality and food safety. All of the ingredients we use are organic. Instead of cheap refined sugar we source high quality coconut sugar from a family run plantation in the Philippines. We don’t outsource our production – we make our chocolate ourselves in our small Cambridgeshire factory.
