Order Goodnow Farms Esmeraldas 70% Cacao from Arcade Snacks today! An award-winning bar made with beans from the Salazar family farm in the Esmeraldas region of Ecuador. The Salazars have over one hundred acres of carefully cultivated Nacional hybrid cacao trees. The volume of beans they harvest allows them to ferment and dry the beans themselves. And the level of control they have over the cacao varietals they plant, as well as their post harvest processing, results in beans of exceptional quality and flavor. In effect creating a well balanced bar with very low acidity, intense berry jam flavors and a long finish.
As with all of Goodnow Farms Chocolate bars, this is crafted with their house-made cocoa butter, freshly pressed from the same fine flavor beans they use to make the chocolate. At their New England farm, every step of the process is designed to bring out the full flavor potential of each distinctive type of bean.
Goodnow Farms is passionate about flavor!
Like coffee beans and wine grapes, different cacao beans have different flavors. By using beans sourced from only one farm or region Goodnow Farms is able to highlight the distinct flavor characteristics of that particular bean. In essence, discovering those flavors is one of the joys of making (and eating) single-origin craft chocolate!
Esmeraldas bar is made with Goodnow Farms Chocolate’s own freshly pressed Esmeraldas cocoa butter. As a result we get a true single origin flavor and an exceptionally smooth texture.
