Sugar-free Dark Chocolate
Goodnow Farms - Special Reserve 100%
Ranked in the Top 100 Chocolates in the World.
Origin & Craftsmanship
This bold, sugar-free bar is crafted entirely from single-origin cacao beans sourced directly from Ucayali River Cacao in Peru. Known for their expert fermentation and drying techniques deep in the Amazon, Ucayali River Cacao delivers beans with remarkable complexity. Goodnow Farms presses cocoa butter from the same beans, ensuring a full, unadulterated expression from bean to bar.
Flavor Profile
Without any sugar to mask the flavors, the bar showcases pure cacao intensity with unexpectedly bright nuances. Tasting notes commonly include lemongrass, green grapes, and peach—a striking trio that brings freshness and fruit-forward intrigue to a tea‑straight 100% bar.
Accolades & Awards
This bar has won prestigious honors, including a Gold from the Academy of Chocolate (2022) and Bronze medals in 2021 and 2024. It’s consistently rated among the top 10% of all chocolates globally.
Tasting & Pairing Guide
Let the bar warm slightly in your mouth to soften its firm texture and unlock its delicate fruit complexity. Allow the lemongrass brightness, subtle grape sweetness, and soft peach undertones to emerge slowly. Pair it with a crisp, aromatic white wine like Sauvignon Blanc to echo its herbal and fruity notes. For a non-alcoholic option, a delicate green tea or chamomile tea highlights the lemongrass facet beautifully. To enhance contrast, sip alongside a sharp espresso, which deepens its cacao core. On the plate, enjoy it with lightly sweetened fruit preserves or small bites of dried green grapes to play up its fruity character.
Summary
The Special Reserve 100% Cacao bar is a daring masterpiece—raw, unfiltered, and deeply refined. It offers an intense yet nuanced cacao experience, defined by bright fruit notes rarely found in unsweetened chocolate. With its ethical sourcing, bean-to-bar craftsmanship, and international acclaim, it's a standout for purists and chocolate explorers alike.
We ship award-winning craft chocolate from our warehouse in Saint John, New Brunswick to more than fifty countries. Rates, transit times and free-shipping thresholds for every destination are below.
How We Protect Chocolate in Transit
Fine chocolate is temperature-sensitive by nature. We pack according to the forecast along the actual route, not the season on the calendar.
25–30°C (77–86°F) — insulated packaging
30–35°C (86–95°F) — double insulation with an ice pack
35–40°C (95–104°F) — double insulation with ice packs
Above 40°C (104°F) — the shipment may be held until conditions improve
We ship Monday to Thursday so nothing sits in a weekend warehouse, and a business delivery address gives chocolate a better chance than a doorstep in August. These measures reduce risk substantially. They do not eliminate it — in sustained heat, softening can still occur in transit.
Estimated Delivery Times
Every timeframe shown in the table, at checkout, or in a shipping confirmation is an estimate. Actual transit varies with destination, customs clearance and carrier operations, and peak periods and public holidays in either country affect it further. We dispatch promptly, but once a parcel is with the carrier we have little control over its progress, and we can't guarantee a delivery date.
Customs and Duties
Duties, import taxes and local handling fees are set by the destination country and are the responsibility of the recipient. They are not included in our shipping charge. Where a destination has a specific requirement, it's noted alongside that destination's rate.
If a carrier asks you for information to complete clearance, respond promptly. Parcels held for unanswered customs queries are usually returned or destroyed, and we can't recover them.
Orders With Pre-Order Items
An order that mixes in-stock and pre-order items ships complete, once every item has arrived. This avoids a second shipping charge. The expected date for a pre-order item appears on its product page and in your order confirmation, and you'll be emailed when the full order ships.
If you want the in-stock items sooner, place two separate orders. Pre-order items can't be expedited.
Damage, Melting and Delays
We don't refund or replace orders for melting, carrier delays, or customs-related outcomes. Our pricing reflects the protective packaging included in every order rather than a margin held back to cover weather.
If something arrives genuinely damaged, write to us within seven days with photographs of the parcel and its contents and we'll look at it.
Delivery to Specific Countries
For country-specific details on customs, transit and local requirements, see our pages for chocolate delivery to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore.

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.
To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.
On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
