Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar is a signature milk-chocolate expression from Goodnow Farms, crafted with single-origin cacao from the El Carmen region of Nicaragua. Following their bean-to-bar philosophy, the cacao is roasted, ground, and refined in-house to preserve clarity and character. The milk edition brings together rich cocoa and creamy dairy for an indulgent, well-balanced milk chocolate experience.

Flavor Profile
At 60% cacao, this chocolate offers a smooth, creamy profile with warm caramel and brown sugar notes at the forefront. Underneath lies a gentle cocoa depth, supported by hints of toasted nuts and vanilla, leading to a clean, mellow finish. It’s milk chocolate with substance — rich and comforting, yet nuanced and satisfying.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a piece melt slowly on your tongue to first enjoy the creamy milk-chocolate texture, then allow its caramel and vanilla sweetness to unfold.
Pair this bar with a light, fruity red wine like Pinot Noir to complement its mellow sweetness, or choose a chilled rosé to echo its fruity highlights. For a non-alcoholic option, try a nutty chai latte or a creamy café au lait to mirror the milk chocolate richness. For snacks, fresh berries or shortbread cookies enhance both texture and flavour harmony.

Summary

The Classic Milk 60% bar by Goodnow Farms delivers a rich, creamy chocolate experience that’s both comforting and refined. With its warm caramel sweetness and balanced cocoa character, it’s an accessible favourite for milk-chocolate lovers and those discovering artisan chocolate alike.

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.
