Goodnow Farms Chocolate

Brown Butter - 70% dark chocolate

The sweet roasted notes of the brown butter harmonize perfectly with the cinnamon-raisin flavors of the Zorzal Communitario cocoa from the Domenican Republic. The butter also gives this bar an exceptionally creamy smoothness! Like all Goodnow Farms chocolate bars, this Chocolate contains a dollop of extra cocoa butter pressed from the same Zorzal beans we use to make the Chocolate. A truly exceptional taste experience!

Zorzal cacao comes from the 1000 acre Zorzal Reserve in the Dominican Republic was originally planned as a pure conservation land trust approach to preserve biodiversity with the Bicknell's Thrush as the pioneering species. Shortly after the reserve was designated in 2012, ZorzalCacao founder Charles Kerchner had the great idea to not only help farmers get higher prices for their cacao, but also raise money to manage the reserve. This wonderful idea was the inspiration for Zorzal Cacao. In addition to growing its own cacao on Reserva Zorzal, Zorzal purchases cacao from 16 neighboring farms, the majority of which operate under the Organic organic certification program. One of the farms, Reserva Privada Camilo, is part of the 2,000-hectare network of private farms that has also been established in the northern mountain range.

The Brown Chocolate chocolate is made with the award-winning butter from High Lawn Farm in the region. High Lawn Farm in Massachusetts has been family-owned for over 100 years. The "Berkshire Fresh Butter" , made exclusively from the milk of Jersey cows, is carefully browned by Goodnow Farms and then combined with the new Zorzal cocoa from the Dominican Republic.

This Brown Butter Chocolate is a truly exceptional taste experience!
