[The Cross Country Craft Chocolate Odyssey: PreludeIn which I leave New York City, my home base for nearly forty years, and covering the week before embarking on the first leg of my journey – Boston to Cincinnati via Chicago.![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/size/w256h256/2020/12/JR_Pods60x60FavIconCutoutButtons.png)The Chocolate LifeClay Gordon![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2023/04/Woodbury_Featured1920x1080.jpg)](https://thechocolatelife.com/the-cross-country-craft-chocolate-odyssey-prelude/) If you aren’t familiar, you can watch that episode. In this episode, we’ll be focusing on a recent (and almost immediately sold-out) bar, Yasica Especial (MSRP $35/70gr). There are some wonderful stories behind the beans and how they made their way from Nicaragua (I spent quite a bit of time in this area of Nicaragua from 2014 to 2017) to Massachusetts to be turned into chocolate. All that and more, including a live unboxing *and a *live* tasting.* **Did Anyone Say Award-Winning?** *Goodnow Farms’ accomplishments at the recent World Finals of the International Chocolate Awards.* **Bronze** 1.
