Who are OGT?

We are a small startup with big ambitions, founded by father-son Mike and Daniel Bedford. As a keen cyclist, Mike was shocked by the amount of plastic waste in the British countryside, so set out to do something about it. Daniel then used his scientific background to create a product that was completely plastic free with a fully natural, edible beeswax-based coating.

Our edible coating acts as a replacement for a traditional plastic wrapper. Putting convenience first, this means that there is no need to stop, and tear open any fiddly wrappers. OGT bars are the easiest snack a cyclist can eat on the move. Pop a bar in your jersey and you are good to go - spend less time refuelling and more time enjoying.

We are made by cyclists, for cyclists!
