If you want chocolate without that lovely deep umami chocolatey taste Ombar is for you. It's a savoury version of chocolate lacking in any real depth or taste. Best left on the shelf.

Delightful Chocolate - Please Try!

I tried the following flavours this weekend with my family:

- Matcha Blonde
- Caramelised Blonde (So good if you love the malted flavour you get with Biscoff)
- Coco M'lk
- Hazelnut Truffle (So decadent and rich!)

We are so impressed with the flavours and the ethos behind the brand. Delightful chocolate that is delightfully made. Would 100% recommend to all chocolate lovers. Thank you to the Ombar team for such a wonderful product, I shall definitely purchase more!!

Order Not Received

Placed an order nearly 2 weeks ago and hasn't turned up. Contacted the order team there and they advised there is a problem with my address. They told me nothing to do with them and to contact Royal Mail. This is my first order and not happy with their follow through as Royal Mail are their service provider. I have now asked for a full refund. Not great customer service to wash your hands of an delivery issue. Shame as have been told the chocolate is good but apparently not the customer service. I am hesitant to leave bad reviews for a small company but gobsmacked with the response I received today.

The worst customer service I've ever had

I know it's a bit late but I spent 15 pounds on a vegan advent calendar for my wife and she has dietary requirements on bar are one of the very few makes of chocolate she could eat when the calendar arrived all the chocolates were loose inside as it could be heard them rattling around I had to take it apart and put all the chocolates back as best I could I contacted ombar by email and Facebook with no reply not even an apology I will not buy ombar chocolate anymore for my wife

If ombar would like to contact me to resolve this issue I would definitely appreciate it

100% and 90% bars

I'm only commenting on the plain chocolate, rather than the filled or "milk" bars, which I haven't tried. The 90% and 100% bars are absolutely fantastic. The 100% in particular is the smoothest, creamiest 100% bar I have ever tasted, and the use of unroasted beans gives it such a rich and complex taste. I've now got the 100% on subscription to make sure that I don't run out!

Hard to believe that Ombar was once my…

Hard to believe that Ombar was once my favourite chocolate producer & supplier of choice(I have the fondest memories of treating myself to a weekly bar from the Westbourne Grove(original branch)branch of Planet Organic 2 decades ago, quality control standards have somewhat slipped with the quality of ingredients with the use of detrimental seed oils in the chocolate(sunflower oil) adds to a far from pleasing and pleasurable treat experience. Sadly, I can no longer recommend them to anyone. Someone is skimping on quality food production methods for ego led massive profit margin incentives only, such a shame. Has anyone else noticed how quality fresh imports ie mangoes is hard to source now post Brexit? I can no longer enjoy a fresh mango treat now :-(.

Hi there. I'm sorry to read your review here. Over the years we have continuously tried to improve as a business and make better chocolate. That said, the original flavours we've had for many years have not changed much so it would be great to understand which flavours you feel have changed and why?

In terms of using sunflower oil, we created a new Oat M'lk range principally designed for selling in supermarkets (rather than health food shops). It's only two of these Oat M'lk flavours that contain sunflower oil as we cannot find a suitable alternative. None of the original core flavours contain sunflower oil.

Best Vegan chocolate by far

Best Vegan chocolate by far. I’ve tried loads of brands and Ombar is definitely the nicest tasting. It doesn’t have that fake chocolate like taste. Ombar is also an ethical company to support and donates funds to rainforest restoration.

I love the 42g pistachio bars

I love the 42g pistachio bars. So yummy and delicious without any nasty stuff. My only complaint would be that the consistency in the first and last pieces are good as it’s mostly just a big piece of chocolate without any pistachio in. So I end up paying a lot to only enjoy 3 pieces

Hi @Catlover, thanks for the review. We've been working on that and we think we've cracked it! It's a tricky one, but we're pretty sure that any new bars you buy now should have more filling in the first and last chunks :)

Melted down ombar choc & added me asses of real sugar…

Melted down all the many ombar chocolate bars i have receved as gifts in the last year & added in loads of sugar; it just about made them palatable, but they still have an unpleasant salty & earthy taste.

Hi Jeremy, I'm sorry no one responded to your reviews. It's pretty clear our products are not for you, but there are many who enjoy our chocolate everyday, so I guess everyone has different tastes.
All the best

When it comes to chocolate, Ombar sets the BAR!

As a vegan, this is THE chocolate I've been waiting for - smooth, creamy, FLAVOROUS and irresistably delicious.

It's the Ombar chocolate tasti-ness that stands out not any hint of a traumatising sugary kick as with others I've been disppointed with so so often.

Buying more now!

Delicious chocolate. Excellent service

I bought my sister an Ombar advent calendar which Royal mail failed to deliver.
Ombar very kindly sent another advent calendar out which my sister recieved the next day.
She says the chocolate is "delicious" and "creamy".
Their customer service was exceptional. Very speedy replies and they were so kind to send out another calendar, which meant a lot to me.
I would definitely purchase again from them.

Unpleasant

Chocolate's my passion. I can usually tell which country the beans have come from without looking at the ingredients list, what kind of sugar's been used, etc.

I have a bar of Ombar 72% cacao, which tastes weird, but in an unpleasant way. Live cultures and coconut sugar don't work for me, sorry. Won't purchase again.

Super Silky Smooth…

I just tried the coconut and vanilla chocolate and it's quite beautiful - so silky smooth and melts deliciously in the mouth. I will definitely try the other flavours. This is a winner for me!

Incredibly creamy! Love love love!

I received a sample to try (hazelnut milk choc) but wasn’t obligated to share my experience at all, but it was so delicious that I really wanted to leave a review! It was so incredibly creamy, I didn’t know vegan chocolate can taste like this. I’m so impressed! Highly recommended! I only wish the prices were lower. I struggle paying twice the price of non-vegan chocolate. If it was a similar price I would buy it regularly. It’s a shame that vegan alternatives always have to cost so much more :( I doubt that oat milk is so much more expensive to make than dairy milk.

Hi Kate,

Thanks so much for your feedback and for recommending our products! It is great to hear that you enjoyed our Hazelnut chocolate 😊

We appreciate that our chocolate is a little more expensive than others on the market, but this is for good reason!

Most commercial chocolate is cheap because big business exploit farmers to maximize their profits. We have long-term partnerships with fair-trade farmer's cooperatives in Ecuador, and pay each farmer a fair wage and price for their cocoa beans.

Cacao is the most expensive ingredient in chocolate, and we never go below 40%, with the vast majority of our range sitting at 55% plus cacao content. Other popular brands in the UK have between 20-25% and bulk up their products with cheaper ingredients, like milk and sugar. We only use high quality, organic ingredients, which is another reason why the cost of our chocolate is higher.

We don't outsource to big factories like many of our competitors. We're a small company who lovingly make every batch from scratch in our chocolate factory in Cambridge, for example, every almond in Coco Almond is added by hand!

We hope this helps to explain the price of our chocolate 😊

Delicious chocolate bar

I had the chance to try a sample of the hazelnut chocolate bar. The taste is delightful and you cannot say that is plant based from the taste. It is also a good option to save a bit our planet.
