Meet Ocelot – specialty organic chocolate handmade in a micro chocolate factory in Dundee, Scotland. Founded by Matt & Ish Broadbent, the Ocelot team is passionate about organic, ethical & sustainable practices.
In partnership with Original Beans, the cocoa farmers they work with are given more than a living income (1.78 x the Fairtrade Premium), & for every bar bought one tree is planted. Ocelot's farmers nurture the trees, handpick the cocoa pods & hand-separate the beans for fermentation.
The cocoa beans are sun-dried & hand-peeled, before processing. Ocelot's 70% chocolate is made from beans grown in Virunga National Park, Africa's oldest nature reserve & the home of the last Mountain Gorillas. The farmers are working to protect the gorillas, & their beans reflect this wondrous region, creating rich chocolate with notes of dark fruits, earthy forest floor, and smoky tobacco. All of their chocolate is OF&G-certified organic, crafted with unrefined cane sugar & no preservatives or emulsifiers. Tick tick tick!
