"I've absolutely fallen in love with Ombar. In fact I think we've had a love affair for a few years now! Lots of 'healthy' chocolate doesn't feel like real chocolate, but Ombar is perfect for when you need that sweet fix. Not only do the bars taste deliciously decadent but because Ombar uses raw cacao, much of the original goodness is preserved, which means the bars are packed with naturally occurring antioxidants and flavanols. What more could you want from a chocolate bar?!"
