“At the very beginning, when we were creating, we realized that we need to set limits and a goal for ourselves. We decided that all the ingredients, apart from cocoa, because it does not grow here, should come only from Lithuanian farms or collect what we can grow ourselves. Just to show our citizens and the world what we have here. After all, we are pickers to this day, and we collect berries and mushrooms, it’s ingrained in our blood, and we need to show it.

Although when we set such a goal, then a little bit of fear took over. And what do we have here? But then we realized that it is precisely such thoughts that stop everyone, because in fact we have a lot, but we tend to underestimate it”, – with 15min he spoke.
