There’s at least one outstanding chocolatier and some great bakeries

Ocelot chocolate is made in Scotland. I’m not sure why I haven’t featured it more than I have. It has it all going on: it’s organic, it works with great cocoa beans and it supports women cocoa farmers. The packaging is also really fabulous, like retro modern (yes, this is a thing) paperback books. I have mentioned a few of its bars in the past (Chocaletta: a creamy milk not currently available, but I remember going mad for it).

Anyway. Ocelot also works with bakeries in Scotland. Wild Hearth, a wood-fired, artisan bakery in an old Nissen hut on the edge of the Highlands, makes the cinnamon swirls for Ocelot’s Cinnamon Swirl bar, £6.99/75g (sadly, not tested).
