The World's Top Chocolate With Inclusions or Flavouring 2024

Origin:

  • Cacao: Single-origin Asochivite beans from Cobán, Guatemala
  • Coffee: Crafted with Las Palomas coffee from George Howell Coffee, also from Guatemala

Flavor Profile & Experience

  • Layered Fruit-forward Taste: This bar delivers a bright, juicy palate with evocative notes of green banana, mango, cherry, and nectarine—a vibrant fruit medley that brings the single-origin Guatemalan cacao to life.

  • Coffee-Infused Complexity: The chunky nibs are soaked in a custom-brewed Las Palomas coffee infusion, then dried and refined in stone grinders. The infusion process imparts nuanced coffee aroma and depth without overpowering the chocolate’s fruity essence.

Craftsmanship & Origin

  • Bean-to-Bar Artistry: Goodnow Farms uses its own freshly pressed Asochivite cocoa butter throughout production, integrating depth, luxurious mouthfeel, and unmistakable Guatemalan terroir in every bite.

  • Collaboration with Coffee Mastery: This bar is the product of a thoughtful collaboration with coffee expert George Howell, whose Las Palomas coffee is infused directly into the nibs for a truly integrated flavor experience.

  • Ethical and Transparent Sourcing: As with all Goodnow Farms offerings, the focus is on direct trade, traceability, and supporting Indonesian-origin farmers—though in this case, it spotlights Guatemalan origins.

Awards & Accolades

  • Consistent Recognition: The “Special Reserve: Las Palomas Coffee” bar has garnered multiple Gold awards from the Academy of Chocolate (2020, 2021, 2022, and 2024), along with Bronze medals from the International Chocolate Awards (2020, 2022), and a Silver from the Academy of Chocolate (2023).

What Makes It Special

  • Fruit-Forward Intensity Plus Coffee Depth: The interplay of bright Guatemalan cacao profiles with smooth, aromatic coffee infusion results in a bar that’s both lively and comforting.

  • Exceptional Texture & Finish: Thanks to in-house cocoa butter and careful infusion technique, the texture is lush and velvety—with dreamy lingering coffee-chocolate synergy.

  • Award-Winning Elegance: Its repeated accolades affirm its place as a refined and inventive interpretation of single-origin craft chocolate.

The Goodnow Farms Special Reserve: Las Palomas Coffee 77% bar is a beautifully harmonious fusion of fruity Guatemalan cacao and specialty coffee craftsmanship. It’s a bold, elegant, and utterly unique offering—perfect for those who seek innovative flavor narratives in their chocolate.

Like coffee beans and wine grapes, different cacao beans have different flavors. By using beans sourced from only one farm or region we’re able to highlight the distinct flavor characteristics of that particular bean. Discovering those flavors is one of the joys of making (and eating) single-origin craft chocolate!

To make excellent chocolate we need to start with excellent beans. We’ve traveled throughout Latin America searching for the most flavorful beans, and have direct relationships with the farmers who grow and harvest them. By dealing directly with farmers we’re able to ensure we always receive the very best beans, which in many cases are fermented and dried to our custom specifications. Our direct trade model also allows us to pay significantly more than commodity or Fair Trade prices, and ensure that farming practices are sustainable and labor practices are equitable.

All of our chocolate is made at our 225 year old farm in Sudbury, Massachusetts. We start with cacao beans and sugar, and perform every step of the chocolate making process in-house, including carefully hand wrapping each bar. We’re also one of the only chocolate makers to use our own freshly pressed, single origin cocoa butter in our chocolate. Doing this is time consuming and difficult, but the result is exceptionally smooth and intensely flavorful chocolate.

We believe that great craft chocolate is “true to the bean,” – that the flavors apparent in the bar reflect the flavors hidden in the bean. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about the many steps involved in truly realizing the full flavor potential of single-origin chocolate cacao, from personal sourcing to painstakingly roasting, pressing cocoa butter, conching and more. What you discover will change the way you think about chocolate!

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and strong odors. Store at maximum
18 ° C in its original packaging

Unsere Schokoladenhersteller verzichten in ihren Produkten stolz auf den Einsatz künstlicher Stabilisatoren oder Konservierungsmittel, wodurch ihre Kreationen im Vergleich zu anderer Premium-Schokolade temperaturempfindlicher sind.

Um ein optimales Geschmackserlebnis zu gewährleisten, empfiehlt es sich, unsere Pralinen an einem kühlen, trockenen Ort bei einer Temperatur zwischen 16 °C und 18 °C aufzubewahren. Bitte vermeiden Sie es, unsere Pralinen im Kühlschrank aufzubewahren, da dies aufgrund der erhöhten Luftfeuchtigkeit zur Zuckerkristallisation führen kann, was ihre Textur und ihren Geschmack verändern kann.

Im Gegenteil: Bei zu hohen Temperaturen kann sich die Kakaobutter trennen und einen weißen Film auf der Oberfläche der Schokolade bilden. Dieser Verlust an Kakaobutter kann dazu führen, dass die Schokolade austrocknet und sich infolgedessen der Geschmack verändert. Durch eine sorgfältige Lagerung können Sie die Integrität unserer köstlichen Schokolade bewahren.
