The World's Top Dark Chocolate Bars With An Infusion Or Flavouring 2024Origin & Craftsmanship
This bold, sweet-and-savory bar is a collaboration between Goodnow Farms and spice curators Burlap & Barrel. It starts with Goodnow’s El Carmen single-origin cacao and fresh-pressed cocoa butter. The caramelized onions—in particular the Safrane Globe variety—from Wolfe Farms (Finger Lakes, New York) are carefully harvested, dried, and refined together in stone grinders for maximum flavor integration.

Flavor Profile
A fascinating interplay: the depth and intensity of dark chocolate layered with rich umami from the caramelized onion, plus sweet notes of brown sugar and delicate fruit (pear) shining through. The onion doesn’t dominate—it enriches, lending a savory complexity that elevates the chocolate rather than overwhelming it. 

Accolades & Awards
Winner of the 2024 Good Food Award for its inventive flavor. Also recognized in the “Maker’s Choice” category by critics for pushing boundaries with savory infusions in dark chocolate. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a square melt slowly to let the chocolate’s dark richness unfold first, then let the caramelized onion umami and sweetness build gradually. Pair with a rich, aged red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec to match the bar’s depth, or try a bold dark beer with roasted malt character. For non-alcoholic options, a smoky or charcoal-roasted coffee underscores the savory onion notes. Try it with aged Manchego or a smoked cheese on a charcuterie plate for contrast, or enjoy with lightly salted potato chips to echo the savory edge.

Summary

The Caramelized Onion 77% bar is a daring and delicious example of savory meets sweet in craft chocolate. Its rare use of caramelized onion inclusion yields a surprising depth and umami richness—and yet the chocolate remains centered. With high-quality ingredients, ethical sourcing, and award recognition, this bar is ideal for adventurous chocolate lovers who want more than just sweetness.

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.
