50% Dark Milk Chocolate with JUNIPER and BUTTER

   The wide juniper bushes growing among tall pine trees are not very pleasant to touch, but the fresh aroma compensates for the effort. Junipers collected in the Labanoras forest enrich chocolate with a natural sweetness, like a freshly picked berry. Although the taste of juniper is well known to Lithuanians, this fresh aroma will surely surprise, and butter, emphasizing the creamy texture, will allow the taste to linger even longer.
