The World's Top Milk Chocolate With Alternative Ingredients 2025

International Chocolate Awards 2025 

Cacao & Milk Origins
A thoughtfully crafted dark milk chocolate, this bar features single-origin Zorzal Communitario cacao from the Dominican Republic, renowned for its nuanced, fruity profile. Paired with creamy, high-quality milk sourced from Organic West, it achieves a harmonious blend where both cacao and milk shine through.

What Makes It ‘Dark Milk’?
With 55% cacao content, this bar leans more toward dark than standard milk chocolate. It offers the satisfyingly smooth sweetness of milk chocolate but with a clearer expression of the bean’s origin flavor.

Awards & Acclaim
Celebrated in the chocolate community, this bar has earned Bronze at the Academy of Chocolate Awards 2023, along with multiple Silver accolades in 2021, 2022, and 2024—affirming its refined, consistent quality.

Flavor & Texture Highlights
Imagine a creamy, velvety melt with gentle sweetness, underlined by subtle floral or fruit-forward notes typical of fine Dominican cacao. The milk enhances depth without overpowering the cacao’s character, creating a balanced and elegant experience.

Why It Stands Out

  • Cacao-Centric Yet Accessible: The “dark milk” format provides a perfect entrée for those who appreciate bean origin but prefer a smoother, sweeter profile.
  • Ethically Committed Craftsmanship: As with all Goodnow Farms products, this bar was bean-to-bar crafted in Massachusetts, using in-house pressed Zorzal cocoa butter and stone‑grinding techniques that preserve nuanced flavor and texture.
  • Thoughtful Ingredient Sourcing: The use of Organic West milk—antibiotic- and rBST-free—ensures clean, rich creaminess that enhances, rather than masks, the cacao’s essence.

Summary

The Classic Milk Chocolate 60% by Goodnow Farms strikes a graceful balance between dairy sweetness and cacao depth. It’s an elegantly crafted dark milk bar—perfect for anyone craving a nuanced and comforting chocolate experience rooted in craft and transparency.

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.
