Ombar changes packaging

Ombar changes packaging

Ombar, which specializes in raw cocoa, has a new look.

Ombar is almost direct from cocoa to bar...

No roasting, so no cooking. It's a raw, organic, vegan, lactose-free and gluten-free cocoa that remains soft, melting and delicious.

Ombar (click here) is a collection made from natural products that give delicate, sharp flavors. Raspberry, pistachio, vanilla or plain. Depending on the bar, the cocoa content varies from 60% to 100% - just the thing for cocoa fans! A challenge to bitterness.

Chocolate laid bare

Ombar launched its first chocolate bar 13 years ago. Its creator, Richard Turner, imagined it long before fashions and trends. An enthusiast of simple, unprocessed food and having tasted raw cocoa, 3 years of personal trials put testers to the test. These willing and visibly satisfied guinea pigs encouraged him to market his products.

The main idea was to rethink chocolate, starting with the cocoa bean, with a view to preserving the richness of its 300 natural components. The aim? minimal processing, to preserve all its taste components. The two main stages of preparation are harvesting and drying. By abandoning roasting, we avoid roasting the beans, which retain their nutritional qualities. The Ombar factory oversees all stages of production. The beans are ground, and the chocolate is flavored with natural ingredients. Coconut powder garnishes the Coconut Bars. Unrefined coconut sugar, prepared from the flower that grows on the trunk, gives a delicate, even caramelized taste.

Direct from Ecuador

The cocoa comes from Ecuador, from the Des EsmeraldaS zone in the north, from family micro-plantations and small farms. Ombar selects the cocoa on the spot and, if necessary, contributes to improving production and monitoring the fermentation techniques used. Indeed, the purity of the cocoa, National Arriba, and its processing determine the taste of the chocolate bars. No roasting, no defects. Ecuador's climate and geographical configuration are conducive to quality cocoa trees, and the altitude favors the purity of the shrubs. Fragile and delicate by nature, these pure-tasting cocoas develop highly prized floral and fruity notes.

Ombar produces 1 flavor a day, to order, and distributes it within 3 weeks.
