Ucayali

  • 2018 International Chocolate Awards, World, Dark Chocolate, Bronze
  • 2018 International Chocolate Awards, Americas, Micro-Batch, Silver

Try the bar that won a Gold Sofi award!  The cacao for this multiple award-winning origin comes from the jungles of Peru.

The Ucayali river is one of the major headwaters of the Amazon, and the farmers living along its shores grow several varieties of fine flavor cacao.  They bring the cacao on boats to our partners at Ucayali River Cacao, where the beans are expertly fermented and dried at their new facility.

This extremely well balanced bar is floral and herbal, with notes of lemon verbena and fig.

This bar is made with our own freshly pressed Ucayali cocoa butter, ensuring true single origin flavor and an exceptionally smooth texture.

For more information about the cacao we use for this bar visit our Ucayali page.

Best chocolate ever.

After reading a story in the Boston Globe in October 2022 we toured the factory in November and became hooked on the chocolate process and the many unique varieties Goodnow creates. We now consult the website regularly for varieties. That is how we came across Yucayali. We are also delighted to finally find Goodnow on the shelf at Idlewild. The nibs are superb and we use it regularly in salads. The cocoa is excellent although somewhat on the sweeter side (use 2 TBS instead of 3). We have sent care packages to our children and neighbors. As I said, great chocolate. Hope Ucayali continues to win.

Fruity and delicious!

My friends and I had fun trying to identify the lemongrass notes to no avail.

Always best

Goodnow Farms chocolate is really and truly THE best for anyone who is a connoisseur. Their use of the cocoa butter from the same bean creates a truly unparalleled mouth feel and taste. I have had chocolate from all over the world - and now ONLY Goodnow will do!

Hiding the good stuff --

OK, there's something special about this chocolate. I've heard the same comment from two female friends: after opening and trying this chocolate, each ended up hiding it from her spouse, to save it. Coincidence? I don't think so -- this chocolate is that good.
