Ombar (fair trade organic vegan chocolate)
Ombar is a brand of vegan chocolate, that is also organic and Fair Trade. It uses unroasted cacao to keep more antioxidants for mood and heart health. Sweetened with coconut sugar, and free from palm oil.
It’s best to avoid caffeine for pregnancy/nursing. Keep chocolate (and other ingredients like dried fruits, nuts and nutmeg) away from pets.
If your council does not recycle the inner packaging, you should be able to recycle it at supermarket bag bins.

- Ombar Blueberry & Acai
- Ombar Raspberry & Coconut
- Coconut & Vanilla

Why Choose Dairy-Free Chocolate?
Most dairy (especially in processed foods) is not from free-range cows, but from the factory-farming industry, where baby calves are shot dead soon after birth, due to being of no financial use. Cows and their calves have incredibly strong relationships, staying together for months after birth.
Many people therefore choose dairy-free for animal welfare reasons. Others are dairy-free due to allergies, and some even find that giving up dairy is good to heal sinus and/or skin problems.
You can easily get calcium from plant-based foods like green leafy veggies (check medications due to vitamin K), pulses, nuts and seeds.
