Origins & Collaboration

This adventurous bar is a standout collaboration between Goodnow Farms and spice curators Burlap & Barrel. It pairs single-origin Zorzal Communitario cacao from the Dominican Republic with the uniquely fermented Black Urfa Chili sourced from Şanlıurfa, Turkey.

Flavor & Sensory Profile
  • Flavorful Complexity: The chocolate opens with rich, deep tones—raisin, fig, plum, and a hint of black pepper, leading into earthy undertones. The Black Urfa Chili adds a mellow, slowly building heat that lingers into a powerful, satisfying finish.

  • Balanced Heat: Unlike conventional spicy infusions, this chili offers complexity without overpowering, providing depth rather than just burn.

Craftsmanship & Purpose
  • Maker’s Choice Innovation: Part of Goodnow Farms’ “Maker’s Choice” lineup, highlighting daring yet delectable flavor fusions they’re passionate about.

  • Ethical Sourcing: Both cacao and chili are direct-sourced—Goodnow Farms sources cacao responsibly from trusted farmer partners, and Burlap & Barrel ensures the chili is traceably and fairly procured.

  • Bean-to-Bar Process: Crafted entirely in the U.S., the bar is made with stone-ground Zorzal beans and fresh-pressed Dominican cocoa butter, staying true to single-origin purity and artisanal execution.

Why It Stands Out
  • A Bold Taste Adventure: An elegant balance of dark, fruity cacao with nuanced spice makes it ideal for adventurous palates.

  • Vegan & Allergen-Conscious: Dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, and made with vegan sugar—yet still indulgent.

  • Elegant Yet Robust: The 77% cacao delivers richness and depth, while the chili provokes a warming crescendo rather than a sharp kick.

Best Enjoyed With
  • Sipping Pairings: Try with a smoky aged rum, dark lager, or a deep-bodied red wine that echoes its earthy fruitiness.

  • Culinary Twist: Crumble a piece over ice cream—or pair with fig or plum-based desserts to harmonize with its fruity layers.

  • Mindful Indulgence: Let it rest on your tongue, melt slowly, and appreciate the evolving journey from fruit and cacao to warming spice.

Summary

The Goodnow Farms Black Urfa Chili 77% bar is a masterful fusion of heritage cacao and refined spice. It transforms traditional dark chocolate into a multi-dimensional experience that's equal parts bold, refined, and memorable. Perfect for anyone craving flavor innovation grounded in craft and ethical sourcing.

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

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
