Goodnow Farms Coco Loco 60% Bar, 55g

Goodnow crafts their award-winning bean-to-bar chocolate on their New England farmstead using carefully-sourced cacao from trusted producers. Rather than purchasing commodity cacao, Goodnow establishes close relationships with their farmers, which helps ensure ethical, safe, sustainable growing practices, as well as high-quality beans.

This bar was inspired by their favorite Colombian beach cocktail, the Coco Loco, a drink they discovered in Cartagena during one of their cacao sourcing trips. There are many variations on the recipe but Goodnow love the combination of coconut, rum and citrus. To make this bar they had to find just the right balance of flavors to accentuate the chocolate, so they did a LOT of test batches. This final recipe involves soaking their fruity Esmeraldas cacao nibs in Boston Harbor Distillery’s Lawley’s Rum and adding just the right amount of organic coconut sugar, organic coconut milk powder, and naranjilla fruit to their grinders.
