Goodnow Farms – Caramelized Onion 77%

Goodnow Farm Chocolate has crafted a one-of-a-kind chocolate bar that masterfully blends sweet and savory elements in a truly remarkable way. This unique creation combines the rich flavor of Goodnow’s El Carmen chocolate with the delicate sweetness of caramelized onions sourced from Burlap & Barrel, known for their exceptional, sustainably sourced spices.

The caramelized onions, sourced from Wolfe Farms in New York’s Finger Lake region, bring a deep umami richness to the bar. These onions are of the Safrane Globe varietal, prized for their natural sweetness, firm texture, and bronzed skin. Harvested just days before caramelization to concentrate their sugars, these onions are dried and expertly refined alongside Goodnow’s signature chocolate in stone grinders, allowing the flavors to fully develop and integrate. The result is an onion-forward taste experience that is melt-in-your-mouth and deeply satisfying.

With each bite, the savory umami of the caramelized onions balances perfectly with the smooth, rich chocolate, creating an extraordinary flavor profile that is both complex and comforting. As with all Goodnow bars, this chocolate is made using freshly pressed cocoa butter from the same fine beans that form the heart of the bar, ensuring an indulgent, smooth texture.

The caramelized onions used in this bar are a limited-run product from Wolfe Farms, a family-owned farm committed to sustainable farming practices and exceptional flavor. Thanks to Burlap & Barrel’s dedication to sourcing these unique, traceable ingredients, this collaboration is a true celebration of exceptional taste and craftsmanship.
