Called Pink Chocolate by some, it is The Most Extraordinary Confectionery Discovery in 80 Years
A gift from the rainforest which offers a brand new taste and color from the ruby cocoa bean – made without any added colors or fruit flavorings. This confection is the first creation of ruby, fully dedicated to entice those who think of themselves as chocolate connoisseurs. It is not too bitter, too milky or too sweet, but uniquely ruby which is a new flavor for all to savor.
Is ruby really a fourth chocolate type?
The food we eat is evolving and exotic flavors are becoming mainstream. Passionfruit as a flavor for example, is now a popular one you see everywhere from gelato to chocolate truffles. Back in the 1990s passionfruit would not have been seen much in the USA. Another great example is how the distinct matcha green tea flavor with its umami taste is now enjoyed in ice creams, cakes and chocolates everywhere.
Chocolate itself as an ingredient has not seen much innovation for over a hundred years - not since milk chocolate was invented in 1875 as an easy to eat children's health food in Switzerland.
Today ruby stands as the innovation of the 21st Century, alone in its own category of confectionery. Along with dark, milk or white chocolate, in time ruby will become recognized as the fourth major chocolate type as food innovators embrace the beautiful pink color and uniquely fantastic flavor.
Unique taste profile:
Intense fruitiness (cassis, blueberries) with fresh, sour notes. Less sweet for more longevity of the berry fruit aftertaste and a hint of cacao rawness.
Celebrate the taste and natural coloring crafted from the ruby cacao bean.
