Donkey Darkmilk Wild Jaguar Beans (no added sugar), 60 g
Product detailed description
Wild jaguar beans (Theobroma bicolor) coated in darkmilk chocolate made with donkey milk. No added sugar, just fine cacao, freeze-dried donkey milk and freshly pressed cocoa butter. The bar weighs 60 g and comes from the Lithuanian bean-to-bar workshop Chocolate Naive.
The beans come from a micro-batch hand-picked by Domantas Užpalis in the jungles of Central America. Theobroma bicolor is a relative of the common cacao tree, yet it tastes nothing like it. Instead of bitterness you get buttery biscuit, macadamia nuts and a faint smoky note. The finish is long, with hints of almond and toasted bread.
It works with black coffee, after dinner, or as a gift for someone who thinks they have tasted everything. Break off a square and let it melt slowly on your tongue so the aroma opens up in stages.
Key benefits
- 40 % wild jaguar beans – Theobroma bicolor, wild harvested in Central America
- No added sugar – the 12 g of sugars per 100 g come naturally from donkey milk and cacao
- 30 % donkey milk – freeze-dried, giving the bar its creamy darkmilk texture
- Up to 31 g fibre per 100 g – most of the carbohydrate in jaguar beans is fibre
- Bean-to-bar production – Chocolate Naive, Lithuania, small micro-batch
- Flavour without bitterness – buttery biscuit, macadamia, gentle smoke
How to use
Break the 60 g bar into squares and eat it slowly at room temperature. Grated, it also works on porridge or in hot milk. Give it a few minutes out of the fridge before serving and the flavour opens up.

Naive: bean-to-bar chocolate from Lithuania that treats cacao like wine
Naive is a small Lithuanian chocolate maker with an unusual approach. Rather than forcing every bean into the same recipe, the team analyses each cacao lot for taste, colour, aroma and texture and only then decides how to roast, grind and finish it. The goal is to reveal the character of that specific bean, not to hide it under sugar and vanilla.
The results have put Lithuania on the map of fine chocolate and earned Naive a reputation as one of the rising names in the craft chocolate world. Some bars are experiments you will not see anywhere else: Jaguar Tree Cacao made from the rare Theobroma bicolor, Ambrosia, a dark chocolate with bee pollen and honey, Kefir dark-milk, and the sugar-free Molecules series. More than twenty of them are on the shelf at BJP Store.
