Goodnow Farms Asochivite with Maple, 70%
To craft this World-Final-Winning bar, Goodnow Farms starts with their directly sourced Asochivite cacao, freshly press it to Asochivite cocoa butter creating intense single origin flavor and exceptional smoothness, and add locally made maple sugar from Severance Maple in Northfield, MA.
The maple sugar comes from Milt Severance, who harvests maple sap from trees on his property, as well as the surrounding area, and then granulates it in his own evaporator. And the cacao beans, they are sourced from the Q’eqchi Maya farmers of San Juan Chivite, Guatemala, who harvest the cacao fruit from wild trees surrounding their village. They also ferment and dry their own beans at tow different facilities they built in their village, which allows them to carefully control the fermentation and drying process.
