Unfortunately, due to stricter customs regulations imposed since Brexit, our team has been unable to send orders from our online store overseas without facing expensive customs and duties charges. Because of these complications, we’ve had to make the very difficult decision to stop shipping to international addresses for the foreseeable future. Don’t worry though, you can still buy Ombar abroad! We work with international distributors who help deliver Ombar to retailers around the world, from France to Australia!

Quite simply, our chocolate costs more to make than many of the other brands on the market, this is because: We pay more for our cacao than both the commodity price and fair trade recommended price and we source the highest quality cacao we can find. We keep our cacao unroasted meaning our cacao growers follow specific and time-consuming steps to ensure excellent quality and food safety. All of the ingredients we use are organic. Instead of cheap refined sugar we source high quality coconut sugar from a family run plantation in the Philippines. We don’t outsource our production – we make our chocolate ourselves in our small Cambridgeshire factory.
