Origin & Craftsmanship
Made by Goodnow Farms using single-origin beans from the remote village of San Juan Chivite in Guatemala. The local Q’eqchi Maya farmers harvest cacao from wild trees surrounding their village and handle custom fermentation and drying protocols exclusive to Goodnow Farms. 
Unlike most hot cocoa mixes, this one is not alkalized, meaning it retains more of the natural flavanols and flavor integrity. 

Flavor Profile
Expect a hot cocoa with a light, articulate taste reminiscent of the cacao fruit itself — bright fruit notes, warm earth tones, and a crisp cocoa finish. This distinguishes it from more conventional mixes by offering bean-to-cup flavor depth. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Heat with your choice of milk (or plant milk) and stir until fully smooth. First taste the chocolate’s rich cacao base, then let subtle fruit tones emerge, finishing with a clean cocoa finish. For pairing, try a warm spiced latte (cinnamon or nutmeg), or enjoy it alongside a buttery shortbread. For a non-food pairing, sit back with a soft jazz playlist or a crisp winter evening—this is a cocoa to savour.

Summary

This Asochivite Hot Cocoa from Goodnow Farms offers serious cocoa clarity and origin distinction—with bean-to-bar DNA in a sipping format. It’s perfect for those who want more than “just hot chocolate,” and appreciate craft, quality sourcing, and flavored nuance.

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.
