Top Micro-Batch – Plain/Origin Dark Chocolate Bars 2024
International Chocolate Awards - Bronze

This exceptional chocolate bar celebrates the rich flavors of cacao sourced from San Pablo de Borbur, a town in the Boyaca region of Colombia. Historically known for cultivating coca, the area has transitioned to growing cacao, a crop that provides greater security and prosperity for local farmers. This shift has been supported by the efforts of Impulsa Bacao, an organization that invested in a state-of-the-art fermentation and drying facility in the region, ensuring the highest standards for cacao quality.

Impulsa Bacao works closely with the local farmers to select fine flavor cacao, offering prices above the local market rate and overseeing the entire fermentation and drying process in their facility. These strict, carefully monitored protocols help maintain consistency and superior quality across every batch.

Goodnow Farm was the first chocolate maker to craft chocolate using Impulsa Bacao’s beans, and the partnership has been crucial in refining the fermentation process. During their visit, Goodnow’s team met with the farmers and worked directly with Anyi Torres and William Bonilla, the managers of the operations, to provide feedback on test batches. The result is a rich, nuanced chocolate bar that reflects the dedication and hard work of everyone involved in its creation.

Crafted with freshly pressed Boyaca cocoa butter, this bar delivers an intense, single-origin flavor and an unmatched smoothness. As one of the few chocolate makers in the country to press its own cocoa butter, Goodnow Farm ensures that each bite delivers the purest and most refined chocolate experience.

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

当社のチョコレートメーカーは、製品に人工安定剤や保存料を一切使用していないことを誇りに思っており、そのため、他の高級チョコレートと比べて、その製品はより温度に敏感になっています。

最適な味わいを確保するには、温度が 16 °C から 18 °C の間で、涼しく乾燥した場所にチョコレートを保管することをお勧めします。チョコレートは湿気の増加により砂糖が結晶化し、食感や風味が変化する可能性があるため、冷蔵保存はご遠慮ください。

逆に、過度に高温で保管するとカカオバターが分離し、チョコレートの表面に白い膜が形成されることがあります。このカカオバターの損失により、チョコレートが乾燥し、その結果、風味が変化する可能性があります。細心の注意を払って保管することで、当社のおいしいチョコレートの完全性を保つことができます。
