MULATE's Branding Tells Tales of Travel to Africa, Asia & Central America

Manufactured by Chocolate NAIVE, the EU-certified organic chocolates were named the Best Startup at Next Organic Berlin 2015 and also received Packaging Gold recognition at the Academy Of Chocolate Awards 2015.

In addition to the story that is communicated through the chocolate packaging, the foreign nature of the treat comes through with unusual flavors too, such as tahini, dark chocolate with extra cacao, peanut, sea salt and a blend of spices that includes cinnamon, vanilla and cayenne pepper.
