Lithuanian producer Chocolate Naive is one of the more intruiging chocolate makers around. Lithuania is little known as a chocolate country, but it shows it doesn’t matter where you are from, there is always a way to create something stunning.

Review: Mulaté Organic Chocolates – Spices Dark Chocolate with Cinnamon, Vanilla & Cayenne Pepper 65% (***)
Flavor infused chocolate. Wherever you look, there they are. Bars consisting of chocolate combined with added flavors, from fruits to spices, from nibs to salt.

Naive provided me with a nice…

Review: Chocolate Naive – Trinidad and Tobago 70% (***1/2)
Lithuania. No there is another country I wouldn’t have linked to chocolate some years ago. How little did I know back then. Today I know bean-to-bar chocolate producers are popping up everywhere. In center point of this movement seems to be the USA and UK, but in nearly every country there are chocolatiers stepping up…
