Ocelot Chocolate: The Art of the Bar
Imagine a rainy afternoon in Edinburgh. You’ve just ducked into a small studio where the air is thick with the scent of roasting cacao and the rhythmic hum of a vintage wrapping machine. You peel back a layer of thick, matte paper—not just a wrapper, but a piece of art—and snap off a corner of chocolate so glossy it catches the light. This isn't just a snack; it’s a moment of quiet rebellion against the mass-produced. Welcome to the world of Ocelot Chocolate.
The Ocelot Story: From Micro-Batch to Global Favourites
Founded by Matt and Ish Broadbent, Ocelot is a love letter to the craft of chocolate making. Based in a small factory in Scotland, this duo has redefined what a "chocolate bar" can be. They treat cacao like a fine wine, sourcing the highest quality organic beans and pairing them with unexpected textures and flavours. Whether you are a devotee of deep, moody dark chocolate or you prefer the creamy complexity of a high-cacao milk bar, Ocelot is designed for those who slow down to savour the details.
Where Design Meets Decadence
One look at an Ocelot bar and you know it’s different. The packaging is legendary—bold, geometric, and evocative of the flavours hidden inside. But the beauty isn’t just skin deep. Ocelot is a pioneer in the bean-to-bar movement in the UK, ensuring that every farmer is paid fairly and every bean is handled with obsession-level care.
In our curated collection at LemonSalt, you’ll find their most iconic creations. From the zesty, bright notes of Blood Orange to the sophisticated crunch of Buckwheat, these bars are staples for any Artisan Pantry.
A Flavour for Every Mood
Why settle for the ordinary when you can explore the extraordinary?
- The Purist’s Choice: Their 70% and 75% dark bars are masterclasses in balance, perfect for pairing with a glass of red wine or a sharp espresso.
- The Adventurous Palate: Have you tried the Sea Salt? It’s a perennial favourite for a reason—the delicate flakes of Halen Môn salt perfectly cut through the richness of the cacao.
- Vegan Delights: Many of Ocelot’s best-sellers are naturally Vegan-Friendly, using high cacao percentages and plant-based inclusions to ensure no one misses out on the luxury.
