Ocelot Femme 50% Dark Milk Organic Chocolate

50% Milk Chocolate - An exceptional organic dark-milk chocolate made with rare Amelonado cocoa beans grown by a pioneering women’s cooperative in Eastern Congo. The milk for this chocolate is sourced from Swiss Brown cows that graze in small herds in lush mountain pastures. The cane sugar is raw and unrefined. A chocolate bar to celebrate the female.

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…

Ocelot 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.
Ocelot 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.
Ocelot are 100% Organic: Their farmers work with nature, not against it.
Ocelot 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.
Ocelot 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!

And.... 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.
