This Ucayali bar recently won a 2023 Good Food award! The Good Food Awards celebrates exceptionally flavorful craft foods and also requires that each entry meets strict social and environmental sustainability standards.
The cacao for this multiple award-winning origin comes from the jungles of Peru. It's named after the Ucayali river, 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 Goodnow Farm's partners at Ucayali River Cacao, where the beans are expertly fermented and dried at their new facility.
They also freshly press the cocoa butter for this from the same Ucayali beans they use to make the chocolate, resulting in intense single origin flavor and exceptional smoothness.
