The Microbatch Collection by Beyond Good Raises the Bar for Dark Chocolate

NEW YORK (July 22, 2025) – Beyond Good, which makes the very best direct trade chocolate and vanilla, has introduced The Microbatch Collection to set a new standard for ethically sourced, single origin dark chocolate. The Microbatch Collection is chocolate taken seriously – rich, nuanced, and anything but ordinary.    

“Our Microbatch Chocolate is the best chocolate we’ve ever made, and if another company can make chocolate that’s even close to this good, I have no idea who they are,” said Tim McCollum CEO and founder of Beyond Good. 

The Microbatch Collection is crafted using organic, heirloom cocoa beans from Madagascar and Uganda and slow-processed to reveal complexity in flavor, low acidity, and a smooth, velvety melt. Created by a team of Malagasy chocolate makers, this new line of chocolate is now available in four distinct flavors made with simple, premium quality ingredients: 

• 72% Cocoa Dark Chocolate with Vanilla Bean
• 72% Cocoa Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt & Nibs
• 72% Cocoa Dark Chocolate with Candied Ginger
• 70% Cocoa Dark Chocolate and Rum Raisins

“Each small, numbered batch represents hours of careful monitoring, tasting, and adjusting,” shared Sariaka Andrianarivo, Head Chocolate Maker of Beyond Good. “It is craft chocolate making at the source rather than mass production, and I can’t wait for you to experience it.”  

Beyond Good is the only U.S. chocolate company producing the finished product at origin in Madagascar. The Beyond Good direct trade model completely prevents human exploitation, deforestation, and pesticide use, while ensuring farmers are paid 3-5x fair trade premiums. Beyond Good cocoa forests protect 85+ species of wildlife, including vulnerable and endangered lemurs.

Big flavor. Micro batch. Purposefully designed to pursue excellence, not scale. Look for the Microbatch Collection for $7.99 per bar at Whole Foods nationwide in the specialty section, plus Amazon and beyondgood.com.
