History
We are so excited to announce we'll be building our own brick and mortar retail shop in the summer of 2015. Visit us at omachocolate.com to purchase online, learn more about Oma's story, and check our favorite merchants who carry Oma in Portland, Oregon. Oma Chocolate was launched in 2013 by owner Kara Stricker, who wanted to create chocolate chocolate recipes that inspired feelings of Happiness, Courage, and Freedom. Kara worked with Amit Sangh, a close friend and acupuncturist, to design Ayurvedic spice blends that actually created the different mood profiles of the three core principles. Oma truly offers edifying experiences for the body and soul.
