Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar is part of Goodnow Farms’ celebrated El Carmen series, featuring single-origin cacao from El Carmen, Nicaragua — roasted, ground, and refined by hand to showcase true bean-to-bar flavour. What sets this version apart is the addition of coffee crunch, a textural and aromatic element that brings a lively interplay between rich cocoa and bold coffee notes. Goodnow’s direct sourcing and artisan process ensure every square reflects the terroir and craft of the makers.

Flavor Profile
At 69% cacao, this bar strikes a beautiful balance between depth and approachability. Expect smooth, rich cocoa richness with espresso-like roast character, enhanced by crunchy coffee-infused inclusions that add a lively bitterness and aromatic lift. Beneath it all lies a subtle sweetness and warm cocoa finish that ties the profiles together seamlessly.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a square melt slowly on your tongue so you first experience the chocolate’s deep cocoa foundation. As it softens, the coffee crunch becomes more pronounced, adding spice and aromatic intensity.
Pair this bar with a fresh espresso or dark roast coffee to mirror and elevate the coffee notes, or a milk-steamed latte to bring out the cocoa’s warmth. For a non-alcoholic alternative, choose a toasted oat milk or nutty black tea to complement the roasted character. For a snack pairing, try roasted almonds or shortbread — their texture and flavour echo the coffee-cocoa interplay beautifully.

Summary

The El Carmen with Coffee Crunch 69% bar from Goodnow Farms is a dynamic and textured chocolate that brings together Nicaraguan cacao depth with vibrant coffee energy. Perfect for those who love bold flavour, crunchy contrast, and origin-driven craft in every bite.
