  Because the maize cob extract is made from plant fiber it's prebiotic and also has a lower glycemic response compared to glucose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon’t be fooled into thinking this 62% dark chocolate tastes super sweet.  Our Alternate Reality bar actually tastes more like our 77% cacao bars... and perhaps even a tad darker.   Even though the bar has relatively low cacao percentage for dark chocolate there is naturally less sugar present compared to cane sugar.  For reference, maize cob extract only has 2g of non-sucrose sugar in every 100g, whereas cane sugar has nearly 100g of sucrose sugar in every 100g!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe love everything about this chocolate bar including that it was inspired by a desire to make food production more sustainable!

the curing is done has a big impact on flavor.  Giff uses the “bourbon” method, which is both time and labor intensive but results in incredibly rich vanilla flavor.  When Tom was in Nicaragua in March he hand carried the vanilla pods for this bar on the plane with him!  If you’d like to see the vanilla plants for yourself check out our Banana Split

world from Massachusetts, and is the second largest island in the nation Vanuatu in the South Pacific.  It's a tropical paradise, with groves of coconut trees covering the coastline and tropical rainforest in the interior.  Old growth \"wild\" cacao grows naturally throughout the jungle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1800s European settlers introduced the Amelonado genetic type to the island, and since then the cacao trees have naturally flourished in the wild environment with no introduction of new genetic material.  The Amelonado cacao found on Malekula Island is one of the 10 distinct genetic strains documented in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18827930\/\"\u003eMotamayor's 2008 genetic cluster research\u003c\/a\u003e.  In crafting chocolate, Amelonado cacao is generally known for having natural flavor notes of deep, classic cocoa flavor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe beans we used to craft this bar are grown in Pinalum, a small village on the northeastern coast of Malekula.  The general store and the gas station are the only two businesses in town, and homes are modestly built with thatch roofs, as the local inhabitants have adapted to the sometimes violent forces of nature, rebuilding quickly after cyclones and other natural disasters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe main industry on Malekula Island is agriculture, and cacao is the second largest export after copra (dried coconut).  Between April and August villagers in Pinalum harvest cacao from their surrounding trees, and husband-and-wife team Roy and Lily Buktan drive their truck around town collecting the wet cacao.  They then carefully ferment and dry the beans in their post-harvest facility.  At the end of the season, they blend and bag the dried beans, then ship them by barge to the island of Efate.  Once there most of the harvest goes to Vanuatu tree-to-bar chocolate maker \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gastonchocolat.com\"\u003eGaston Chocolat\u003c\/a\u003e.  Gaston Chocolate has a close relationship with the farmers on Malekula - so much so that once the harvest season is over Roy Buktan travels to Efate to make chocolate in their factory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVanuatu is truly one of the happiest places on earth.  Since 2019 Vanuatu has held the #1 spot on the \u003ca

America since at least the 1700s, when it was 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

impressed but the desire and commitment of 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 Limited Release bar as well as our award-winning Boyaca 73% dark chocolate.  To learn more about this origin, check out our \u003ca

Bar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver a decade ago Giff discovered what he thought may be ancient Criollo trees in a remote area of the jungle in Nicaragua.  He had the leaves from several trees \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/goodnowfarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Yasica-Genetic-Testing-Graph.pdf\"\u003etested by the USDA\u003c\/a\u003e, 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 href=\"https:\/\/www.ctahr.hawaii.edu\/oc\/freepubs\/pdf\/FN55.pdf\"\u003egrafting\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlmost ten years after first beginning this labor of love, Giff’s 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 (among others).  It’s fascinating to think that these may be some of the same flavors that indigenous Latin American peoples tasted in their cacao hundreds of years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv

the term “Criollo.”  A common misconception is that there are three genetic types of cacao:  Criollo, Forestero and Trinitario, with Criollo being considered the best.  This is absolutely not true.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor one thing, Forestero and Trinitario aren’t even genetic types – they’re cultivars.  In addition, there are over a dozen \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/goodnowfarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Examples-of-cacao-genetic-varieties.pdf\"\u003edifferent 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\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv
