Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar is a collaboration between Goodnow Farms and Las Palomas Coffee, blending two craft-centric worlds: single-origin cacao from the El Carmen region of Nicaragua and specialty coffee roasted by Las Palomas in Massachusetts. Goodnow’s bean-to-bar ethos emphasizes direct sourcing and careful processing, while Las Palomas contributes bold, thoughtfully roasted coffee that’s ground into the chocolate for a layered tasting experience.

Flavor Profile
At 77% cacao, this bar offers rich, dark chocolate intensity with lively coffee influence woven throughout. Expect deep cocoa richness supported by espresso-like roast character, a touch of fruit sweetness, and a mellow, lingering finish. The coffee adds aromatic lift and texture without overwhelming the chocolate’s core character, making this a favourite for lovers of both quality chocolate and fine coffee.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a piece melt slowly on your tongue so the chocolate’s deep cocoa foundation arrives first, followed by a gentle rise of coffee aroma and roast nuances.
Pair this bar with a freshly brewed espresso or a classic Americano to highlight the coffee notes in the bar. For a wine companion, a rich Tawny Port or aged Madeira mirrors its layered sweetness and dark fruit tones. For a non-alcoholic option, a nutty oolong tea complements both the coffee and cocoa character. Accompany with roasted almonds or biscotti to enhance texture and amplify the roast-and-cocoa interplay.

Summary

The Las Palomas Coffee 77% bar from Goodnow Farms offers a sophisticated fusion of craft chocolate and craft coffee. With deep cocoa intensity, nuanced roast character, and balanced sweetness, it’s an ideal pick for anyone who loves coffee-infused chocolate experiences with depth, complexity, and artisan flair.

Like coffee beans and wine grapes, different cacao beans have different flavors. By using beans sourced from only one farm or region we’re able to highlight the distinct flavor characteristics of that particular bean. Discovering those flavors is one of the joys of making (and eating) single-origin craft chocolate!

To make excellent chocolate we need to start with excellent beans. We’ve traveled throughout Latin America searching for the most flavorful beans, and have direct relationships with the farmers who grow and harvest them. By dealing directly with farmers we’re able to ensure we always receive the very best beans, which in many cases are fermented and dried to our custom specifications. Our direct trade model also allows us to pay significantly more than commodity or Fair Trade prices, and ensure that farming practices are sustainable and labor practices are equitable.

All of our chocolate is made at our 225 year old farm in Sudbury, Massachusetts. We start with cacao beans and sugar, and perform every step of the chocolate making process in-house, including carefully hand wrapping each bar. We’re also one of the only chocolate makers to use our own freshly pressed, single origin cocoa butter in our chocolate. Doing this is time consuming and difficult, but the result is exceptionally smooth and intensely flavorful chocolate.

We believe that great craft chocolate is “true to the bean,” – that the flavors apparent in the bar reflect the flavors hidden in the bean. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about the many steps involved in truly realizing the full flavor potential of single-origin chocolate cacao, from personal sourcing to painstakingly roasting, pressing cocoa butter, conching and more. What you discover will change the way you think about chocolate!

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and strong odors. Store at maximum
18 ° C in its original packaging

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
