LIMITED RELEASE, Porcelana Dark Chocolate 77% 🍫

We just launched our latest single origin Limited Release bar - Porcelana from Venezuela! 🇻🇪

These particular beans from @cacaomarquez are highly sought after and aren't even available in the U.S. As with all our chocolate we make it with cocoa butter pressed from the same beans we use to make the bar, resulting in intense flavor and exceptional smoothness.

Tasting notes include green grape, green tea & toasted barley. 🍇 🍵🌾

Available now in our online store, and get it while it lasts!

@eglazener’s description of our Rum bar… delicious!

"The aromas from the Goodnow Farms Chocolate Ecuador 77% with Lawley's Rum bar rye spirits, dried fruits des bois, and molasses. More on that in a minute.

@goodnowfarms uses the same hybrid cacao beans (with Nacional ancestry) grown by Freddy Salazar's estate @costaesmeraldas in Ecuador that were in the @solkiki_chocolatemaker bar I reviewed yesterday and in the Goodnow Esmeraldas bar I've reviewed previously. Goodnow is one of the few craft chocolate makers that presses its own cacao butter, so this bar is all Esmeraldas cacao + sugar + rum.

Goodnow soaks these cacao nibs in@bostonharbordistil Lawley's New England Small Batch Dark Rum. New England is the rum style, meaning a rum made from 100% molasses that Boston Harbor then oak wood ages with staves previously used to make its rye whiskey. The nibs are dried and made into this chocolate.

The aromas mentioned above become some of the opening flavors of this bar: molasses and rye. The bar melts into thin silky, creamy sheets peeling off a smooth center mass. The molasses flavors persist but mellow and add caramel tones, then the cacao's flavors of confiture de fruits des bois juxtaposition themselves with the rum notes. And that's basically what this bar is all about. Dark sugar, caramel, slightly floral and fruity notes from the rum are masterfully infused into this cacao that produces chocolate with berry jam notes and a nutty base. That nutty base gets subsumed into the rum's dark sugar and caramel notes.

The finish is dark caramel, chocolate, dried fruit, and berry jam. The aftertaste reveals well-balanced tannins (from both the chocolate and the rum) and wonderful soft acidity from the cacao.

This bar is a delight! (as long as you like molasses)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Our Almendra Blanca Bar was @thechocolatejournalis

Our Almendra Blanca Bar was @thechocolatejournalist ’s topic of conversation last Friday, and the conversation keeps going!

Yes, this is absolutely a non-dairy 77% dark chocolate bar, but why is the color such a creamy, lighter brown?

It’s because our single origin “Almendra Blanca” cacao beans that we use from Mexico to craft this chocolate are naturally lighter-colored and almost white when just harvested and raw.

During the next steps of fermentation and drying, the beans naturally darken to the color of wet sand.

And the roasting process darkens the beans' color further to a medium brown.

We then combine those medium brown Almendra Blanca cacao beans with freshly-pressed Almendra Blanca cocoa butter and 23% sugar. We grind them, conche them, temper and mold them and what do we get?

Warm-hued, medium brown, single origin DARK CHOCOLATE that is flavorful! 🍫🍫🍫

When you see it you think, milk chocolate; BUT, when you taste it, its unique Almendra Blanca beans shout out “I’M DIFFERENT!” with natural flavor notes of creamy, tangy mandarin and lime, and wal-nuttiness.

Don’t believe us? Taste for yourself and also check out the awesome discussion about this and other naturally white-colored bean chocolates at @thechocolatejournalist !

We spruced up this little nook in our old farmhouse similarly with how we craft our chocolate- appreciate the story, highlight the craftsmanship and unique nuances, and add our own style.

Thank you @bostonglobemag for sharing, and it’s always #happyhour in Lincoln’s Closet!

Did you know that our cacao farmers from Boyaca, w

Did you know that our cacao farmers from Boyaca, were some of the first in Colombia to voluntarily stop growing illegal coca and switch to cacao? Tired of violence and instability, communities sought an alternate path and different way of life.

Because of this desire, continued curiosity and commitment to make things better, our farmers from Boyaca produce the high-quality, fine flavor, single origin beans that we use today to craft our award-winning, delicious, single origin Boyaca 73% dark chocolate. 🍫

In FCCI’s Conversation Series, Sofia Colmenares @sofcolag takes a deep dive into the heart of Colombian cacao and chocolate. We are honored to be included in @chocoinstitute ’s series and to tell our Origen Boyaca story and what we seek out to make great-tasting, fine flavor chocolate.

Visit @chocoinstitute and click on the link in bio to read Monica’s thoughts. Also, be sure to check out the other blog posts and conversations that Sofia has had with important members of the Colombian Cacao-Chocolate Value Chain!
