When it comes to chocolate, the taste is only one part of the equation. As chocolate lovers, we must also consider the ethics and sustainability of the chocolate we consume. Today, I want to introduce you to the Omnom Cookies + Cream Chocolate Bar, a creative creation made with ethical and sustainable practices.
About Omnom Chocolate
Omnom Chocolate is a craft chocolate maker based in Reykjavik, Iceland. From bean to bar, Omnom chocolate is crafted using the finest Icelandic ingredients. The company places ethics, sustainability, and transparency at the heart of its process. All ingredients are individually sourced with care, and sustainability starts with traceability. Omnom buys ingredients by direct trade to further help assess the social, environmental, and economic impact of its purchases.
Packaging
The packaging of this chocolate bar features the beautiful geometric and monochromatic art of pandas in a pattern that folds like an envelope. It is a cute and beautiful package that could be easily repurposed for crafting and gifting. The details on the package are gorgeous, and the chocolate was wrapped in custom silver foil paper covered in a line-art pattern of the Omnom logo.
Appearance and Aroma
The Omnom Cookies + Cream Chocolate Bar is a white chocolate bar with a creamy, buttery color decorated with two dark chocolate cookies. The design is simple yet elegant. As soon as you open the package, the chocolate releases a wonderful aroma that smells like whipped cream and dark chocolate. The scent is heavenly and inviting.
Flavor
The white chocolate is high quality and very creamy but a bit salty on its own. However, when combined with the cookies made with 70% Tanzania dark chocolate, it becomes a perfect balance of sweet and salty. The dark chocolate cookies provide a crunch that adds texture to the creamy white chocolate. The combination of flavors is excellent and makes for a very enjoyable experience.
Mouthfeel
The mouthfeel of this chocolate bar is smooth and buttery. The white chocolate melts in your mouth, and the cookies provide a nice crunch. It is a perfect combination of texture and creaminess.
Quality
Omnom Chocolate uses only the finest ingredients in their chocolate bars. The Omnom Cookies + Cream Chocolate Bar is no exception. The chocolate is made in a facility that handles nuts, dairy, gluten, and sesame seeds. The bar is designed and made in Iceland, and the quality is evident in every bite.
