Goodnow Farms produces this 77% dark chocolate bar, which highlights the specific characteristics of cacao grown in the Matagalpa region of Nicaragua. The operation functions as a bean-to-bar maker, focusing on maintaining control over every step of the manufacturing process from raw bean to finished bar.
The flavor profile presents notes of cocoa, caramel, and raisin, underpinned by earthy tones. This result is achieved through a custom fermentation profile developed in collaboration with Cacao Bisiesto, followed by refining the ingredients in a melanger. The bar is made with cacao beans, organic sugar, and freshly pressed cocoa butter.
The product is certified vegan, gluten free, and soy free, though it may contain trace amounts of peanuts and tree nuts. The weight of each bar is 55 grams.
