below), and one tree (identified as \"Laube 1\" on the test results) turned out to actually be ancient Nicaragua Criollo.  Giff cleared a section of his farm away from his other trees and began to propagate this ancient Criollo along the Yasica river through \u003ca

painstakingly grafted and nurtured trees finally produced enough beans for a single sack of dried cacao.  He sent us that sack, and we created this incredibly special bar, which won Best in Competition when it debuted at the Northwest Chocolate Festival.  This year Giff sent the beans via air freight as soon as they were ready, and we began crafting this bar right away.  We only have a very small number of bars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe beans themselves are white, which result in a light brown color once dried (see cut test picture in the gallery).  They're extremely small, and with only one sack we had to get everything right the first time.  After deciding on the best roasting temperature we carefully monitored the entire roast, tasting beans at one-minute intervals and stopping the roast as soon as we felt the flavors were fully developed.  We took a similar approach with the conch, tasting hourly throughout the process and stopping the grinders once we felt the chocolate had reached peak flavor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe flavors in this bar are intense and exquisite, with notes of sweet Concord grapes (grape jelly), juicy strawberries, honey and cashews

ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Sweet Concord grapes, juicy strawberries, honey \u0026amp; cashews.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv

genetic types of cacao\u003c\/a\u003e that have been catalogued, and more that haven't been.  Plus, unless specific genetic varieties are planted in areas separate from other genetic varieties, the genetics get mixed together not only between trees in the same area but even within pods on the same tree.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost importantly, growing Criollo is NOT particularly good for cacao farmers.  The trees are very susceptible to disease, and aren't good producers.  This is one of the reasons Giff was only able to produce one sack despite having many trees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis project is truly a labor of love on Giff's part.  He has a large cacao farm which is productive and sustainable, and was able to undertake this years-long project because the other operations on his farm made it financially possible.  In addition, he was lucky enough able to get the cacao leaves tested by the USDA - something that's very difficult to do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the end, great flavor comes down to many factors other than simply genetics - the expertise of the farmers, how the cacao is cultivated and harvested, the skill and techniques of the post-harvest facility, and of course the approach an individual chocolate maker takes to roasting and conching (among other things).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe're very lucky that Giff put so much time and effort into making these beans, and that he chose to share them with us.  As a cacao farmer, Giff understands and appreciates the value of such a special project, and as chocolate makers we're fascinated and intrigued by the unique flavors in this bean, and what it represents.  But, this bar needs to be viewed as a flavorful exception to the standard practices of viable cacao farming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Goodnow Farms","offers":[{"title":"Default

consumed as a root tea  for medicinal benefits.  The ingredients evolved in the late 1800s when it became commercialized for the public as a sweet extract, and also a drink touted for its for health benefits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoot beer is one of our family's favorites.  We especially enjoy drinking a cold, frothy root beer after a yummy meal.  But “root beer” tastes very different depending on the brand you drink and the ingredients used.  Sometimes it's hard to find a good \"root beer\" flavor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, we decided to taste-test ten different root beers to figure out which ones we liked best, and why.  We tasted every type of root beer from grocery store brands to specialty \"gourmet\" root beers.  We found drastic flavor differences - some we enjoyed (marshmallowy, licorice, vanilla and wintergreen), and some we didn’t (cola, cherry cough syrup, intensely sweet).  And looking at the ingredients listed on the labels didn't help with figuring out what it was we liked - the labels often only listed a few things:  corn syrup, cane sugar, water, some preservatives, natural and artificial flavors, and spices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, when it came time to make our first test batches of chocolate we were on our own.  We researched the ingredients that have historically been used in root beer (some of which are now illegal!) and had fun trying new and different flavors, too.  We created many different combinations, and after LOTS of test batches we came up with a robust and delicious (and legal) recipe for what we believe is the perfect root beer flavor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe love the root beer chocolate we created using simple and natural flavors, as well as our single origin Boyaca cacao.   And we know you will, too!   We even listed  every ingredient so that you can understand how different flavors play off of each other and combine to create new experiences.  We hope you'll join us on this fantastic flavor

the community to consistently grow and produce high quality cacao.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYears ago smallholder farmers from San Pablo de Borbur, Colombia were some of the first to voluntarily depart from the divisive and violent coca-production lifestyle.  They chose a healthier, safer and more enjoyable path, which includes working together to produce the cacao we rely on to craft this
