Everything you needed to know about ruby chocolate, but 'were afraid to ask' …
Since its introduction in 2017, Barry Callebaut’s ruby chocolate has changed the face of the confectionery industry and is widely regarded as the ‘4th type of chocolate’ – after dark, milk, and white variations.
With any type of chocolate, the unique processing is key. Chocolate does not grow by itself, it’s the processing of the ingredients that unlocks the colours and flavours that are naturally present in the beans.
The same is true for ruby chocolate, says Barry Callebaut. “We don't use any additives, all is included in the bean itself. This means the pink ruby colour and fruity flavour of ruby chocolate is 100% natural.”
Fresh berry taste
Ruby’s unique fresh berry taste offers innovation ideas for the next generation of confectionery, bakery, ice creams and desserts.
