Ombar 90% Cacao Dark Chocolate Bar

This is where intensity meets indulgence. Ombar's 90% Cacao Dark Chocolate Bar takes fruity Ecuadorian cacao and adds just a touch of coconut sugar to round things out, creating a deeply dark chocolate that is rich, smooth and beautifully balanced. Available in a 35g or 70g size, it is crafted in small batches for bold, lingering flavour without the harsh bitterness that can put people off very dark bars.

Where Intensity Meets Indulgence

The recipe is refreshingly simple: organic cacao, organic coconut sugar and organic cocoa butter, with cocoa solids of at least 90%. The cacao is sourced directly from small farmer co-operatives in Ecuador and is Fair Trade verified, as is the coconut sugar. With only a small amount of sweetness, the natural fruit and depth of the bean take centre stage. The bar is certified organic, certified vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and made without refined sugar.

Rich, Smooth and Balanced

A square of this chocolate has a satisfying snap and a slow, luxurious melt. The flavour is intense and deeply chocolatey, with fruity notes that brighten the experience and a whisper of caramel from the coconut sugar softening the edges. The finish is long and clean. It is a bar to savour slowly, and many people find that a single square is wonderfully satisfying after a meal.

Ethical From Bean to Bar

Choosing Ombar means choosing chocolate made with care for people and planet. The company is a certified B Corp, buys cacao directly from small Ecuadorian co-operatives at above Fairtrade prices and uses organic ingredients throughout the range. Bars are certified vegan by The Vegan Society, free from dairy, gluten and palm oil, and made in small batches in Cambridge so that every bar meets the team's exacting standards for flavour.

Who It's For

Ideal for dark chocolate lovers who want something more intense than 70%, those looking for a lower-sugar treat and anyone who appreciates fine, ethically sourced cacao.

Because Ombar chocolate is made without emulsifiers or palm oil, it is best kept somewhere cool and dry. If a bar gets warm, you may notice a harmless pale bloom on the surface; this is simply the cocoa butter rising and the chocolate is still perfectly good to enjoy.

Sweetened the Ombar Way

Instead of refined white sugar, Ombar sweetens its bars with whole coconut sugar, made from the evaporated sap of coconut palm blossoms. It has a gentle, caramel-like richness that works beautifully with cacao and means the chocolate tastes rounded rather than sugary. Combined with plenty of cacao, it creates a bar with real depth and a satisfying, lingering finish.

A Thoughtful Treat

Ombar bars make a lovely little gift for vegan friends, chocolate lovers and anyone who appreciates ethically made food. Tuck one into a lunchbox, add it to a hamper or keep a stash in your desk drawer for an afternoon pick-me-up. However you enjoy it, it is a treat you can feel good about choosing.
