Ocelot
Ocelot’s organic craft chocolate is a must-try for any self-proclaimed chocolate connoisseurs out there.
Their range is anything but ordinary, starting with the unique flavours – from a smooth dark chocolate laced with sweet black cherry, to a creamy dark milk topped with crunchy toasted buckwheat.
Every bar is made according to Ocelot’s regenerative values. This chocolate fights poverty with fair wages for farmers at twice the fair trade price, as well as providing access to vital resources and education. Hundreds of these farmers are women, whose livelihoods and future prospects are being transformed for the better.
As well as organic ingredients, Ocelot’s environmental commitments include funding the planting of trees at source, regenerating the forests where their cocoa grows.
Beyond incredible taste and values, Ocelot Chocolate bars look the part too, with striking modern art-esque packaging designs. Better still, the outer sleeves are made from fully recyclable sustainable paper stock, while the inner film is 100% home and industrial compostable.
What do ocelots have to do with chocolate, you might be wondering? For starters, the word actually originates from the Aztec language Nahuatl, as does chocolate.
With this linguistic heritage in mind, plus the animal’s status as an endangered species and a once fashionable pet, the ocelot became the perfect symbol for this chocolate brand’s conservationist yet artistic spirit.
Matt and Ish Broadbent started married life in 2013 by launching Ocelot Chocolate, using their wedding money to buy their trademark and a small tempering machine. In the early days, they grew a cult following with bars made in their Edinburgh kitchen.
Since then, these fine food enthusiasts have upscaled to a micro-factory and kept their business going while juggling a pandemic, a baby and an economic downturn. All the while, they’ve stuck by their commitment to ethical chocolate making.
From the start, Matt and Ish have partnered with Original Beans, a supplier that’s dedicated to supporting their cocoa farmers. Together, they create powerful impact from impeccable chocolate.
