Almendra Blanca

As one of his favorites, I added an additional Almendra to the order of the Signature Line. Sadly, I screwed up because he had actually requested two Esmeraldas! Later, as he was sucking on some of the Signature Line chocolate (I don't know which bar), he stated: no worries, it's all good!

This chocolate bar is captivating, especially its remarkable papaya-rose color, which resembles milk chocolate despite its 77% cacao content. This extraordinary hue is a testament to the unique white beans used to create it. The aromatic profile is well-rounded, balanced, and highly enjoyable: distinctive yet never overwhelming. The flavors are engaging and refined, making it an exceptional tasting experience. It is a one-in-a-million chocolate bar that stands out from sight to taste.

I've been exploring the different tastes of Goodnow Farms ever since i first discovered them a couple of years ago. I've never been disappointed. The Almendra Blanca has become one of my go to bars.

I love this chocolate bar as it has a crisp bite that melts in your mouth as I take my time enjoying every little bite as if I were sipping wine! You cannot rush this Almendra Blanca or any of your chocolate bars! Scrumptious!!

Several years ago good friends introduced me to Goodnow Farms chocolate with a bar of Esmeraldas. Prior to this I was never a fan of plain chocolate, or even dark chocolate. But the flavor was remarkable, unlike anything I'd tasted before. I ordered a few other bars to taste and found that I really liked 77% chocolate even more. But I hesitated to try Almendra Blanca, because it looked like milk chocolate. Eventually my curiosity won out, and I discovered my true favorite: Almendra Blanca has a bright fresh taste that's a bit tart. It's definitely a DARK chocolate! I alternate enjoying this with GF's Asochivite, and 77% Limited Release bars (when available). It's an expensive "habit", but life's too short to not indulge a bit.

Ordered some bars and the 100% cacao powder to make my own hot chocolate. Hands down the best chocolate I've ever tasted. In fact, after tasting their chocolate bars, I've realized that i have never actually had GOOD chocolate in my life. Totally different experience and will definitely be ordering again soon!

I don't normally make reviews, but the fact that Goodnow happened to ask me to review this bar the day after I tried it, and that my tasting also happened to be in comparison with a different maker's Almendra Blanca from Mexico -- I had to oblige.

I have been trying a different bean-to-bar chocolate from several different makers for every day of December (like a chocolate Advent calendar). This chocolate has been my favorite so far, and it was the very clear favorite when compared to another very good producer (who shall remain nameless) who offers an (also tasty but less complex) Almendra Blanca bar. I found caramel right out of the gate, which gave way to a very pleasant mango brightness. A very slight and mild spice (achiote?) whispers in the finish. Adding a pinch of salt to the tasting further helps unveil the fruitiness into even more pronounced mango and orange sherbert. A very pleasant ride of flavor, aroma, and super smooth texture.

smooth, melts in your mouth, faintly bitter but overall taste very good. Would try something less bitter next time.

My order consisted of a half dozen or so bars, each was made from beans sourced from different Central/South American countries. All were tasty, a few exceptionally good. I would recommend trying several so you can make informed decisions on what you like best for subsequent orders.

This is the most flavorful and delicious chocolate I have ever eaten. It is far and away the best ever!

Excellent and quick delivery. Thank you

so much that i buy your chocolate every month many different varities

Perhaps the best chocolate I’ve ever had. I’ll now be a returning customer for sure!

This is yet another BEST chocolate. All of Goodnow’s signature line selections are BESTS…….

I love Goodnow Farms Chocolate. It’s a real treat. Love how the beans and butter are sourced. I’m vegan and really enjoy the signature line and the oat milk chocolate bar.

This chocolate bar is mind-glowingly delicious! It’s rich and decadent with bright notes of citrus that make the bar so elegant and refined. Love, love, LOVE!

Remains a favorite.

Great chocolate

We tasted 3 chocolates and compared them. The citrus quality of the Almedra Blanca really came through, and was lighter and fresher than some of the other single origin flavors. A chocolate to make you smile.

The lighter color of this bar always surprises me even though it's right there in the name. The flavor is as deep and complex as all Goodnow Farms' bars, but the creamy, nutty, ethereal lightness is unique to Almendra Blanca.

Lovely taste. Smooth.

The Goodnow Farms single origin chocolates have so much personality that it is tough to choose a favorite, but at the moment the Mexican Almendra Bianca is mine. The flavors are so rich and complex that one small bite is totally satisfying.

Almendra Blanca

When the almond flavor is already part of the flavor profile because of the soil the cocoa beans are grown in.....UNBELIEVABLE and so much better than adding nuts to the chocolate. Of course the same beans being used to press cocoa butter (which is done for all GoodNow chocolates) accentuates the unique notes/flavor even more and gives a silky smoothness.

Wonderful

Goodnow has never made a bad bar of chocolate. This one has a very unique taste which I loved

We love pretty much the entire central and south American line from Goodnow, and the Almendra Blanca is probably right up there with our favorites.
