Ranked in the Best Chocolate of 2024

Origin & Craft
Crafted by Goodnow Farms, this hot cocoa is made from the same directly sourced, premium single-origin cacao beans used in their chocolate bars, combined with golden New England maple sugar from Severance Maple.
Goodnow Farms presses its own cocoa butter, a time-intensive process that allows the hot cocoa mix to be made from scratch in-house, delivering depth and clarity of flavor. The cocoa is not alkalized and contains no additives, preserving the natural character of the beans and their flavanols—even if it requires a bit more stirring.

Flavor Profile
Fruit-forward and chocolaty, layered with natural maple sweetness. The overall impression is rich and vibrant, with cacao depth balanced by warm, clean maple notes.

Tasting & Pairing Guide
Prepare with hot milk or water, whisking or frothing thoroughly to fully dissolve. Expect a fuller, more expressive cup than alkalized cocoas. Enjoy on its own, or alongside simple pastries that complement its maple warmth.

Summary
A 100% plant-based maple hot cocoa made from single-origin cacao and real maple sugar. Non-alkalized and pressed in-house, it delivers a rich, flavorful, and distinctly natural drinking-chocolate experience.

Cacao Beans, Maple Sugar

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.
