Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar is a creative, craft-driven expression from Goodnow Farms, blending their bean-to-bar chocolate expertise with the rich, nutty allure of brown butter. Made with single-origin cacao sourced from regions such as Nicaragua’s El Carmen, this bar showcases how subtle culinary influences — like brown-butter richness — can elevate dark chocolate’s depth without overwhelming the cacao’s character.

Flavor Profile
At 70% cacao, this bar delivers a smooth, layered taste experience. The cocoa opens with deep, rounded richness, followed by the warm, savory-sweet aroma of brown butter, which brings hints of toffee, toasted nuts, and caramel warmth. The finish is mellow yet complex, where silky cocoa richness meets buttery nuance — perfect for anyone who appreciates artisan chocolate with a refined twist.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a square melt slowly on your tongue to allow the deep cocoa notes to unfold, followed by the comforting brown-butter influence that carries hints of caramel and toast.
Pair this bar with a nutty brown ale or amber ale to echo its toasted and caramel tones, or with a medium-bodied mead for a smooth, slightly honeyed complement. For a non-alcoholic option, choose a roasted oolong tea or a creamy chai latte to highlight the bar’s warm spice and buttery undertones. Serve alongside toasted pecans or shortbread cookies to bring out its texture and rich flavour interplay.

Summary

The Brown Butter 70% bar from Goodnow Farms is an elegant fusion of dark chocolate intensity and culinary nuance. The buttery warmth and toasted depth make this bar stand out — rich yet balanced, familiar yet sophisticated. It’s a delightful choice for lovers of artisanal chocolate that offers both depth and character in every bite.

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.
