Classic Milk 55%

The Classic Milk 55% is a notable release from Goodnow Farms, an artisan producer based in the United States. This bar showcases high-quality cacao sourced specifically from the Zorzal estate in the Dominican Republic. It distinguishes itself by utilizing freshly pressed cocoa butter made from the same Zorzal beans, a step that maintains the integrity of the single origin profile throughout the production process.

In terms of sensory characteristics, the bar offers a profile defined by distinct dairy notes complemented by warm hints of cinnamon and dried fruit, specifically raisin. The production involves refining the ingredients in a melanger to achieve a specific texture. This attention to process earned the bar the Gold and Best in Competition honors at the 2025 International Chocolate Awards.

The ingredient list is minimal, relying on organic cane sugar and organic milk powder to balance the 55% cacao content. Because it contains milk, those with dietary restrictions should note its allergen profile, as it may contain traces of peanuts and tree nuts. The 55 gram bar reflects a commitment to transparent ingredient sourcing from the Zorzal region.
