“One of us here at Archipel has a deep love for both chocolate and Scotland. This may not be a trek through the Highlands, but it’s a delightful journey in its own right!”

A smooth, rich, organic dark chocolate made with beans grown in Virunga National Park, Eastern Congo. The fruity, smoky flavours of this chocolate are beautifully lifted by a salty-sweet kick of hand-harvested sea salt from Scotland.

All packaging is plastic-free. Outer packaging is printed on sustainable card. Inner film is home and industrial compostable.

Ingredients: organic cocoa mass, organic raw unrefined cane sugar, organic cocoa butter, sea salt (1%)

ABOUT OCELOT

Why choose Ocelot? Nice packaging, tasty chocolate - there’s plenty of that around. Is there is more to our chocolate? YES! and here’s what…

We Support Farmers: Our beans come from the world’s best - and best paid - cacao growers. We 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.

We 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 we don’t just outsource this work: our growers plant the trees at source, regenerating the forests around them.

We are 100% Organic: Our farmers work with nature, not against it.

We Protect the Rainforest: In 2023 our farmers protected 8 hotspot rainforests. Through our One4One Trees program, we support indigenous growers in planting and nurturing native trees, contributing to forest restoration and biodiversity.

We Empower Women: Original Beans employs hundreds of female farmers, most notably our 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!

Our packaging is fully recyclable / compostable, and we are on our way to a net-carbon negative footprint. In 2023 Original Beans drew down 15,221 tonnes of CO2.

CONCERNING THE WINE SECTION :

Understanding Our Wine Quality Process: We carefully select and taste each wine with Rocket Wine to ensure it meets our standards and matches the detailed descriptions on our webshop. However, we recognize that every palate is unique, and sometimes a wine may not align with your expectations.

If you suspect that your wine is corked or doesn't taste as it should, we're here to support you. We kindly ask that you bring the bottle to our, or Rocket Wine location. This allows us to taste the wine and accurately determine the issue, as this is the most effective method to assess these particular concerns.

We value your input and understand that taste can be subjective. While we strive to provide thorough information and taste profiles for each wine, personal preferences may vary. That's why we invite you to bring in any wine you feel is not up to standard. Please note that for a refund or exchange, the bottle should have more than 50cl remaining.

By following this process, we aim to ensure fairness and maintain the high-quality wine experience you expect from us. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this delicate matter.
