Goodnow Farms Guatemala Asochivite 77% Bar, 55g

Goodnow craft their award-winning bean-to-bar chocolates 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. The payoff is some truly delicious chocolate!
The cacao for this dark chocolate comes from San Juan Chivite, a Guatemalan village so remote that a narrow footbridge is the only way in or out – yes, even for the cacao! The farm is run by indigenous Maya families, who were recently able to improve their fermentation facilities due to an investment from Goodnow. These talented farmers grow and ferment some excellent beans, and they are beautifully showcased in this bar. Bright and fruity, with light acidity and a dark fruit finish, this single origin chocolate is a pure delight.
