World's Top Dark Sugar-free Chocolate 2025

Origin & Craftsmanship
This bold, sugar-free bar is crafted entirely from single-origin cacao beans sourced directly from Ucayali River Cacao in Peru. Known for their expert fermentation and drying techniques deep in the Amazon, Ucayali River Cacao delivers beans with remarkable complexity. Goodnow Farms presses cocoa butter from the same beans, ensuring a full, unadulterated expression from bean to bar.

Flavor Profile
Without any sugar to mask the flavors, the bar showcases pure cacao intensity with unexpectedly bright nuances. Tasting notes commonly include lemongrass, green grapes, and peach—a striking trio that brings freshness and fruit-forward intrigue to a tea‑straight 100% bar. 

Accolades & Awards
This bar has won prestigious honors, including a Gold from the Academy of Chocolate (2022) and Bronze medals in 2021 and 2024. It’s consistently rated among the top 10% of all chocolates globally. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let the bar warm slightly in your mouth to soften its firm texture and unlock its delicate fruit complexity. Allow the lemongrass brightness, subtle grape sweetness, and soft peach undertones to emerge slowly. Pair it with a crisp, aromatic white wine like Sauvignon Blanc to echo its herbal and fruity notes. For a non-alcoholic option, a delicate green tea or chamomile tea highlights the lemongrass facet beautifully. To enhance contrast, sip alongside a sharp espresso, which deepens its cacao core. On the plate, enjoy it with lightly sweetened fruit preserves or small bites of dried green grapes to play up its fruity character.

Summary

The Special Reserve 100% Cacao bar is a daring masterpiece—raw, unfiltered, and deeply refined. It offers an intense yet nuanced cacao experience, defined by bright fruit notes rarely found in unsweetened chocolate. With its ethical sourcing, bean-to-bar craftsmanship, and international acclaim, it's a standout for purists and chocolate explorers alike.

Sugar-free, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free

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!

Cacao Beans, Single Origin Cocoa Butter (Ucayali)

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.
