Ocelot Lemon Olive Oil Organic 70% Dark Chocolate Bar 70g

Lemon Olive Oil Organic 70% Dark Chocolate

Ocelot Lemon Olive Oil Organic 70% Dark Chocolate Bar 70g is a beautifully balanced craft chocolate that combines rich organic dark chocolate with fragrant Puglian lemon olive oil. Made using rare Amelonado cocoa beans grown by a regenerative farming cooperative in Virunga National Park, Eastern Congo, this distinctive chocolate delivers deep cocoa notes brightened by fresh citrus and the smooth character of premium olive oil.

The organic lemon olive oil is produced by the De Carlo family in Puglia, Italy, where whole organic lemons are stone-ground together with freshly harvested olives. This traditional method captures the vibrant aroma of both ingredients, creating an oil that brings freshness, complexity and a silky texture to the chocolate. At i4C, we love how the citrus notes complement the rich cocoa, making this a particularly memorable chocolate bar to enjoy after dinner or alongside a good coffee. The elegant flavour combination, award-worthy ingredients and striking packaging also make it a thoughtful foodie gift and a popular addition to luxury gift hampers.

Why is olive oil used in chocolate?

Olive oil can enhance the texture and flavour of chocolate, creating a smoother mouthfeel while adding subtle complexity. High-quality olive oil also helps carry aromatic flavours, making ingredients such as lemon particularly vibrant.

What makes Puglian lemon olive oil different from flavoured oils?

Traditional Puglian lemon olive oil is produced by crushing fresh lemons and olives together during milling, rather than adding flavourings afterwards. This method creates a more natural and integrated citrus flavour with greater depth and freshness.

Who are the De Carlo family?

The De Carlo family have been producing olive oil in Puglia since the 1600s and are recognised for their commitment to traditional olive growing and milling techniques. Their oils are highly regarded for quality, provenance and authentic regional character.
