Description
This flavor journey is surprising, singular, satisfying & sublime! The deep, rich, earthy El Carmen cacao and bright, lemony and spicy sun dried Zanzibar Black Peppercorns from Burlap and Barrel prove that opposites do, in fact, attract.
Goodnow Farms works closely with their friends at Burlap & Barrel to find the perfect spices to mix with their fine flavor chocolate, and once they tasted the lemony spice of these peppercorns, B&B had to try it with Goodnow Farms chocolate. They found the perfect complement of flavors in the El Carmen cacao, and spent a lot of time figuring out just the right balance between the zesty flavors of the peppercorns and the earthy tones of the El Carmen. The result is chocolate that combines the sweet, caramel notes of the El Carmen with the sharp, lemony flavors of the pepper slowly building and ending with a long, spicy finish.
About the Zanzibar Pepper:
Burlap & Barrel sources these pepper from small farms on the island of Zanzibar (an insular semi-autonomous region which united with Tanganyika in 1964 to form the United Republic of Tanzania), where they’re hand-picked and sun-dried. According to their website these peppercorns are unlike anything else on the planet, and we’re inclined to agree. Try them for yourself on Burlap and Barrel’s website.
