Guatemala, 77% Cacao, 55g Bar

Experience the bright, vibrant flavors of single origin chocolate crafted from cacao grown by the Q'eqchi' Maya farmers of San Juan Chivite, Guatemala. Goodnow Farms' award-winning craft chocolate showcases the unqiue character of the cacao with tasting notes of green bananas and ripe mango.

Our Asochivite bar is crafted with freshly pressed Asochivite cocoa butter for intense single origin flavor and exceptional smoothness. Goodnow Farms is one of the only chocolate makers in North America to press our own cocoa butter, and it makes a world of difference in flavor.

Tasting notes:  This bar has delightfully bright fruit flavors of green banana and mango.

Ingredients: Cacao Beans, Organic Sugar, Fresh Pressed Cocoa Butter
Soy Free | Gluten Free | Not Alkalized | No Lecithin| Vegan


How We Source Our Asochivite Cacao

We source these beans from the indigenous Q’eqchi Maya farmers of San Juan Chivite, Guatemala, who harvest the cacao fruit from wild trees surrounding their village. The farmers also ferment and dry their own beans at two different facilities they built in their village, which allows them to carefully control the fermentation and drying process.

During our first visit to San Juan Chivite the farmers told us their outdated fermentation and drying facility was causing problems with quality control, and was too small to handle all of the cacao in the area. We helped fund the construction of an updated facility, and now the association has grown from the original ten farmers to more than thirty, and the quality of their beans is exceptional.

Although the association has grown we still receive beans solely from the original ten farmers, who do a custom harvest, fermentation and drying protocol exclusively for us. This allows us to receive beans of consistently high quality which reflect the specific flavors we wish to highlight.

Learn more about our trip to San Juan Chivite and how we source our Asochivite cacao.

My favorite chocolate

I love chocolate and whenever I travel I always try new bars. Goodnow chocolate favorite chocolate. Each bar is distinct and I love to savor it by breaking off small pieces. It is really the only chocolate I eat now. I especially love Nicaragua, Peru and Equador.

I’m all in!

I’ve never had dark chocolate and like it. I saw the banana split flavor and decided to try it. I also purchased the signature line Guatemala bar and was amazed. The flavoring in both bars was incredible. I’m officially a dark chocolate fan and definely a Goodnow Farms fan! Thank you Goodnow Farms for quality products!

Guatemala 77%

GoodNow Farms chocolate has always something magical. Something very much related to their freshly pressed cocoa butter that makes a world difference to how the mouthfeel and flavor profile turn out.
Their chocolate bars are always very smooth and creamy with a soft floral edge on the mouth, reliving in the pure essence of that specific origin. Perhaps this ORIGINAL SINGLE ORIGIN CENTRALITY requires a more rigorous and more consistent effort, but this gives more complete as well as permanent results. The flavor profile for a 77% dark chocolate is not bitter at all. I'd add that this is another trademark of this chocolate maker: despite crafting a range of chocolate bars with high cocoa percentage, on the palate, the bitterness is always present in the right balance. My tasting notes are: fruit flavors of green bananas with a fragrant and starchy-tart flavor, and lingering sweet yellow thai mangoes taste. It is softly floral and herbal too, slightly bitter and astringent. The quality of the craftsmanship that came through is quite extraordinary. And it is the only Guatemala #singleorigin that made me smile and I hope it has the same effect on other people like me.

A wonderfully different chocolate experience

I teach a class on the science of chocolate. One thing I have learned is that chocolate preference is a matter of personal taste. But Asochivite is a very common favorite, and it is indeed my top choice of all of the hundreds of chocolates I have tried. The texture has a feel of milk chocolate, the bitterness is balanced well with the other flavors, and those green banana and mango flavors make us realize why cacao is considered a superfruit.

exquisite flavor and mouth feel

I first got this bar in a flight of Guatemalan chocolate bars I sampled for a novel I'm writing set partly in a Guatemalan cacao co-op. This was the hands-down favorite! Have now ordered more to share at my book signings. It's got a great snap and complex flavors.

Best chocolate ever!

I have never tasted chocolate so smooth and flavorful! I highly recommend this chocolate. I only wish that it was in my local supermarkets. At one time you did have it at Whole Foods - that’s where I first got a taste of it - but they no longer carry it.
