A note regarding our October 2024 price increase

 
 

Dear friends, partners, valued customers,

Due to the stratospheric rise in cacao prices over the last year, like most chocolate makers we are sadly left with no choice but to increase our prices.

We always try hard to avoid price rises and have rarely, and barely, implemented them in our ten years of trading, but in these drastic circumstances in order to maintain the ethics and quality of our chocolate it is simply unavoidable.

Our RRP price per bar will increase to the following:

1st October 2024: £6.99

We will continue to offer bundle deals (with free shipping) as well as seasonal discounts, and we hope you can see that Ocelot still remains one of the best value craft chocolates on the market, especially given our stand-out status as certified organic, and our exceptional attention to ethics, ingredients, and quality.

We know it’s not easy for anyone right now. If you would like more information on why this price increase has been necessary, or why our chocolate is worth paying more for, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. And if you have concerns that you simply cannot tolerate this price increase please don’t just disappear - talk to us.

Thank you for supporting our commitment to regenerative cacao cultures and communities, organic farming, re-foresting, fair income for all, and of course wonderful chocolate!
