Story
Cheese pretending it's a fruit, and telling lies is not so cute.
Under spikes of Stilton hides, bring your sneaky stink outside.
You knock snouts from way afar, we'll accept you as you are.
Jungle King with unwashed socks!? Same no more, as this taste rocks!
Plug your nose and you will see, that this duet is meant to be.
FACTS. Yes, the fruit may be difficult to handle, bearing likeness to some sort of medieval weapon. But once you get down to the pale yellow, creamy flesh, you'll get to experience overtones of hazelnut, apricot, caramelized banana and egg custard. Words will fail you: there's just no other flavour like it. You will either be overcome, or seduced by its powerful, declarative presence, or reject it outright. And run screaming.
This chocolate is made in-house with organic specialty cacao, which is mixed in certain proportions to form a clean, rich and flavorful base. The blend formulation is classified, but we can assure you it is top quality and it fits perfectly with Chocolate Naive standards and values.
ABOUT EQUATOR COLLECTION. The Equator collection concept is to use ingredients that come from a single ecosystem. Because an ecosystem's minerals, water, and soil give life to its plants, the living things that thrive together inherently taste good together. Every chocolate bar from this collection is solely composed of ingredients grown in the area on the region of the earth surrounding the equator with bright and intense flavours symbiotically blended into the house-made tropical chocolate.

Maker Description
In a little town on the Eastern side of Lithuania, Naive Chocolate makes outstanding bean-to-bar chocolate. Each and every morning, the chocolate master carefully roasts fresh cacao beans whose delicious aroma gently awakens the residents of the town. Just as they were hundreds of years ago, cacao beans are slowly rolled and conched to release their extraordinary bouquet of fruits, nuts and flowers in a delicately finished chocolate bar. These handcrafted bars are later stored to mature and form a complicated array of tastes and seasonings. Two key principles are most important to Naive. First, the maker only works with the best ingredients in the world. Second, they seek to become world-class craftsmen in working with this type of exquisite production. Naive makes chocolate in ways that help to reveal the character of a particular cacao bean. The chocolate is finally born after a meticulous analysis of taste, colour, smell and texture.
