Ranked in the Best Chocolate of 2025

Origin & Craft
Crafted by Goodnow Farms, this hot cocoa is made entirely from scratch in the maker’s own chocolate kitchen. Goodnow Farms presses its own cocoa butter—a time-consuming process that allows full control over flavor and texture—and uses the same premium single-origin beans found in their chocolate bars, so each cocoa retains a distinct profile.
Unlike most commercial cocoa, this hot cocoa is not alkalized (not Dutch-processed). Skipping alkalization preserves the natural flavor of the beans and retains cacao’s naturally occurring flavanols, even if it requires a bit more stirring.

This cocoa was awarded Best in Competition at the International Chocolate Awards – World Drinking Chocolate Competition.

Flavor Profile
Rich and expressive with a distinctive nutty character, showcasing the natural qualities of the Almendra Blanca cacao.

Tasting & Pairing Guide
Prepare with hot milk or water, whisking or frothing thoroughly to fully dissolve the cocoa. Expect a fuller mouthfeel and clearer bean character than alkalized cocoas. Enjoy on its own, or alongside simple pastries that won’t overshadow its nutty depth.

Summary
An award-winning, non-alkalized hot cocoa made from single-origin Almendra Blanca beans. Pressed, blended, and finished in-house, it delivers a rich, nut-forward cup that highlights cacao’s true flavor and benefits.

This brand appeals to individuals who are not afraid innovative chocolate experiences. SLOK boldly combines premium bean-to-bar chocolate with classic Asian tastes, delivering a culinary journey similar to a Michelin-starred NOMA-like adventure. For those seeking a more traditional flavor profile and hesitant to be too adventurous to try such offerings like duck liver or Hokkaido dried scallop chocolate, the brand also offers one of the best and rare selections of award-winning plain dark chocolate bars and very limited releases of single-origin hot chocolate. Their Peru Chucho 72%, named the world's best hot chocolate of 2024 by the International Chocolate Awards, is one of those very exclusive experiences for those who know their food, wine, and, of course, chocolate.

Sporting a plump sloth as its mascot, Slok Chocolate epitomizes a philosophy deeply rooted in the slow food movement. Its single-origin chocolate bars embrace simplicity, crafted solely from two ingredients: cacao and organic sugar, devoid of any added lecithin or vanilla.

The current selection includes bars sourced from Ecuador, the Philippines, Brazil, India, and Vietnam.

This brand also attracts individuals unafraid of innovative culinary experiences. SLOK boldly but thoughtfully merges premium bean-to-bar chocolate with traditional Asian flavors, offering a gastronomic voyage reminiscent of a Michelin-starred NOMA-like experience, like duck liver or Hokkaido dried scallop chocolate.

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.
