Ocelot Almond White 34% Organic Chocolate

Why choose Ocelot? Nice packaging, tasty chocolate - there’s plenty of that around. Is there is more to their chocolate? YES! and here’s what…

They Support Farmers: Their beans come from the world’s best - and best paid - cacao growers. They pay 100% living income directly to farmers, as well as providing them with vital resources. In 2023 Original Beans schooled 2,944 farmers, 40% of them women.
They GROW Trees: When you break a piece of Ocelot you are breaking ground for a tree. To-date Original Beans and Ocelot customers have helped grow more than 3 million trees in origin (the world’s longest-running one-for-one forestation programme). And they don’t just outsource this work: their growers plant the trees at source, regenerating the forests around them.
They are 100% Organic: Their farmers work with nature, not against it.
They Protect the Rainforest: In 2023 their farmers protected 8 hotspot rainforests. Through their One4One Trees program, they support indigenous growers in planting and nurturing native trees, contributing to forest restoration and biodiversity.
They Empower Women: Original Beans employs hundreds of female farmers, most notably their Femmes de Virunga (DRC); where hundreds of women have taken local leadership to become craft cocoa growers, heal their war-torn communities, and regenerate the forests: together these women have planted more than 100,000 trees!
Their packaging is fully recyclable / compostable, and they are on their way to a net-carbon negative footprint. In 2023 Original Beans drew down 15,221 tonnes of CO2.

34% White Chocolate.
The fine Trinitario cacao butter used for this chocolate comes from cacao gardens in the Yuna River Valley in the  Dominican Republic, and is then combined with Swiss Alpine milk. Notes of banana milk and caramel sumptuously contrast with the crisp, savoury crunch of salted almonds.
