This October, Vegan chocolate challenger brand Ombar will be launching their first Ombar Oat M’lk Advent Calendar. Positioned as the perfect present for chocolate lovers, and with sustainability at its core, the calendar features all delicious bar flavours (RRP £9.99). Available to pre-order on the Ombar website it will also be stocked in-store at Planet Organic from 10th October. The Advent Calendar is a celebration of the Ombar Oat M’lk range which has LESS THAN HALF the carbon emissions of mainstream milk chocolate and is made using sustainable British-grown ‘naked’ oats. Festive fans can expect each door to unveil one of four perfectly formed, delicious, rich and utterly indulgent mini flavours.
Not only that but the brand is launching a fun festive flavour; Spiced Orange Hazelnut Truffle. A twist on the most indulgent bar in the Ombar range, it features a velvety hazelnut truffle centre infused with spiced orange and enrobed in a rich and smooth dark chocolate shell. The Christmas Edition will be available to buy from Ombar.com, Planet Organic and independent and health food shops nationwide (RRP: £3.29) until the end of December. Wholesalers include: CLF, Infinity and Greencity.
As with the rest of the Ombar range, both products are vegan friendly, dairy-free, organic, contain no palm-oil or refined sugar and are fair trade. Not only that but 10p from each Advent Calendar and 3p from each bar sold will be donated to Fundación Chocó, an NGO based in Ecuador. Jocotoco are working to reforest the Choco Rainforest, a global biodiversity hotspot, located close to where Ombar sustainably source their cacao.
Richard, Founder of Ombar says “As the original super chocolate pioneers, we never stop creating, and are really excited to be launching our very first Advent Calendar and new limited edition flavour. As well as our commitments to ethical production, we pride ourselves in making delicious tasting, rich and utterly indulgent chocolate and are delighted to be able to bring all of these things together in two exciting new festive formats.”
Ombar, which was founded 15 years ago, has been built on the belief that we should be treating the planet, the people who live on it, and the food it creates, with respect. In September the brand secured its B Corporation certification. The accreditation marks the next step in the Ombar mission – to change the way the world sees chocolate, making it healthier, more ethically-produced and more sustainable.
