Milk Chocolate with Kefir – This blend is a nod to a longstanding Lithuanian tradition, where kefir, a cherished culinary heritage, reigns. As Domantas puts it, “Kefir is the triumph of milk over time.” The tradition of making kefir has been passed down through generations, with its probiotic richness coming from the friendly fermenting bacteria and yeasts. This chocolate and kefir mix is Domantas’ venture into creating something authentic yet unconventional. With living micro-organisms at play, this chocolate matures gracefully, its taste deepening over time, akin to a good cheese.

Now, about the Forager Collection. Chocolatier Domantas Uzpalis describes it as a complex ensemble with many layers. The process involves isolating all the ingredients, then reassembling them to craft a chocolate bar with, as he says, “patented flavours.” It’s his unique method of incorporating intensely flavorful local products into chocolate bars, letting the inherent complex aromas of cocoa shine through. This collection reflects a creative approach to combining the local taste spectrum with the richness of chocolate.
