Beginning in the remote Shetland Islands, a curiosity for the world of bean-to-bar chocolate led us to Brazil, where a deeper appreciation for cacao and its origins began to take shape. On returning home, Onça was born as a way to explore chocolate as a craft and creative outlet, while using the craft to support important causes. Named after the jaguar, Onça draws its philosophy from an animal defined by independence, adaptability, playfulness, patience and curiosity. These qualities shape not only what we make, but how we approach the world around us. From our beginnings, we have contributed to organisations including the PCRF and Fauna & Flora International. More recently, we collaborated with Onçafari to raise awareness and support restoration efforts following the devastating wildfires in Brazil’s Pantanal.                                                                                                           For us, chocolate is a means of exploring, creating and contributing.
