Why we love Omnom Chocolate from Iceland:

Many dream of opening a restaurant, or starting their own culinary-centric company, but few have the experience or knowledge to do so. This was not the case for Kjartan Gíslason, a chef-turned-chocolatier and co-owner of Omnom Chocolate; Iceland's newest bean-to-bar operation.
Since September 2013, Gíslason and his three close friends (Óskar Þórðarson, Karl Viggó Vigfússon, André Úlfur Visage) have been running their startup out of a disused gas station—a small multistory building actually perfectly suited for such a pursuit. Here—in a modest kitchen outfitted with steel shelving and counters custom made by another friend—they turn high-quality organic cacao beans from exotic locales like Madagascar, Papa New Guinea and the Dominican Republic into small batch bars of dark, light and blonde chocolates.
And failing to mention the excellent packaging off the bat would be remiss. The vibrant designs center around a motif they has been playing with for years. The wolf icon is derived from the Icelandic word for wolf, Úlfur.
And the name Omnom? "It's the sound the Cookie Monster makes. It's in the dictionary—'om nom nom".
