Immortal Shilajit Chocolate - Naive, 50 g
Product detailed description
A dark 70% bar from the Lithuanian maker Chocolate Naive, with Himalayan Immortal shilajit from Primal Alchemy worked into it. It came out of a fairly plain question: how do you get shilajit into a form you can eat without ceremony and without measuring out spoonfuls.
The cacao comes from East Java, from the Java criollo variety known as Red Java for its deep red pods. You can spot the beans by their pale cotyledon, which points to strong criollo genetics. Pale and dark beans are sorted by hand, fermented separately for four days in wooden boxes and dried in the sun. Criollo accounts for only about 3% of world cacao production.
On the palate the bar is spicy, leathery and distinctly mineral, with a light acidity and a dark close. The shilajit brings an earthy finish of its own that sits well with dark cacao. Net weight 50 g, sweetened with organic raw cane sugar, 13.7 g across the whole bar.
Key benefits
- Shilajit in the bar – a whole bar holds roughly 1.5 g of Immortal shilajit from Primal Alchemy.

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.
