Goodnow Farms Chocolate

100% Cacao - Cocoa mass from Peru

The cocoa beans from the Ucayali region of Peru contain incredible flavors, which is why we offer this Chocolate from 100% Cacao. This bar also contains no sugar and so the unique intense floral flavor with notes of lemon verbena and fig very special bean in the foreground.

The Ucayali River in Peru is one of the most important headwaters of the Amazon. Along its banks are hundreds of small family farms that provide the cocoa beans for this special chocolate bar, including William Taleverno's farm. William and the other farmers in the Ucayali River area bring their wet cacao (often by boat!) to a new fermentation and drying facility built by Ucayali River Cacao, from which they receive a premium for their cocoa beans. Although the plant is located in the middle of the Amazon jungle, it is optimized to precisely control the fermentation and drying processes that are so important to flavor development. William is so convinced of this that he now makes his own Chocolate from it!  This is just one of the many ways Fine Flavor Cacao has enabled farmers to add value at the point of origin.

This 100% Cacao from Goodnow Farms is a Chocolate from Cocoa mass with no added sugar and has won many awards:
