The World's Top Dark Chocolate Bars With An Infusion Or Flavouring 2024

International Chocolate Awards 2024 - Bronze

Goodnow Farm Chocolate has crafted a one-of-a-kind chocolate bar that masterfully blends sweet and savory elements in a truly remarkable way. This unique creation combines the rich flavor of Goodnow’s El Carmen chocolate with the delicate sweetness of caramelized onions sourced from Burlap & Barrel, known for their exceptional, sustainably sourced spices.

The caramelized onions, sourced from Wolfe Farms in New York’s Finger Lake region, bring a deep umami richness to the bar. These onions are of the Safrane Globe varietal, prized for their natural sweetness, firm texture, and bronzed skin. Harvested just days before caramelization to concentrate their sugars, these onions are dried and expertly refined alongside Goodnow’s signature chocolate in stone grinders, allowing the flavors to fully develop and integrate. The result is an onion-forward taste experience that is melt-in-your-mouth and deeply satisfying.

With each bite, the savory umami of the caramelized onions balances perfectly with the smooth, rich chocolate, creating an extraordinary flavor profile that is both complex and comforting. As with all Goodnow bars, this chocolate is made using freshly pressed cocoa butter from the same fine beans that form the heart of the bar, ensuring an indulgent, smooth texture.

The caramelized onions used in this bar are a limited-run product from Wolfe Farms, a family-owned farm committed to sustainable farming practices and exceptional flavor. Thanks to Burlap & Barrel's dedication to sourcing these unique, traceable ingredients, this collaboration is a true celebration of exceptional taste and craftsmanship.

Be sure to savor this exclusive treat before it’s gone, and for a deeper dive into the origins of the fine cacao and the chocolate-making process, visit Goodnow’s pages dedicated to their sourcing practices and chocolate creation.

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.
