Called Pink Chocolate in the News, It is Unlike No Other.
Santa Barbara Chocolate Ruby Couverture is made with prized cocoa beans. Certified Ruby Cocoa can come from equatorial Africa or South America in several quality grades with variation in flavor depending on where they are grown and the methods used. We've selected the most rare Ruby cacao pods considered to be closer to the original heirloom cacao for their cleaner and fresher flavors.
Blossoming Ruby pod trees grow near flowing rivers where they flourish in concert with the indigenous animals of the tropical rainforest ecosystem.
Ruby Couverture has a flavor that is intriguing and hard to describe. It's unlike anything you have ever had before: flavors of ripe berry followed by milk notes, raw unfiltered cocoa butter taste and unsweetened cocoa finish, it is a true delicacy.
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 a pure 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 cacao innovation of the 21st Century. Along with dark, milk or white chocolate, in time it will become the fourth major chocolate type worldwide as food innovators embrace the beautiful pink color and uniquely fantastic flavor.
