Unlike anything you've tasted before, Ruby Chocolate is the fourth category of chocolate, sitting alongside Dark, Milk, and White varieties. What sets it apart is its vibrant, naturally derived pinkish-red hue and its distinctively fresh, berry-fruitiness that leaves a lasting impression. Made from the exclusive Ruby cocoa bean, this chocolate offers a smooth and luscious texture that is both rich and refreshing, without the need for added colorants or flavorings. This makes it not only a feast for the taste buds but also a visual delight, perfect for adding a pop of colour and flavor to any confection.
But what exactly is Ruby Chocolate, and what makes the Ruby cocoa bean so special? Ruby Chocolate is made from the Ruby cocoa bean, which is sourced from specific regions around the world and is naturally endowed with unique precursors that give the chocolate its characteristic color and taste. After years of research and innovation by Barry Callebaut, one of the world’s leading chocolate manufacturers, the Ruby bean was unlocked to reveal a new dimension of chocolate. Unlike traditional chocolate, which is bitter, milky, or sweet, Ruby Chocolate offers a tension between fruitiness and creaminess, with no added berry flavor. Its uniqueness lies in its natural qualities and the innovative process that enhances them, offering a taste experience that is truly one of a kind.
For chefs, chocolatiers, and dessert artisans, Callebaut Ruby Chocolate Callets is a versatile and exciting ingredient. Its all-round fluidity makes it perfect for a wide range of culinary applications, from moulding and enrobing to creating airy mousses and intricate desserts.

Whether you're looking to reinvent classic recipes or explore new flavor pairings, Ruby Chocolate opens up a world of creative potential that will set your offerings apart.
