February Birth Chocolate
Birth Chocolate
Ruby Chocolate
Ruby chocolate is a revolutionary chocolate developed over more than 10 years by Barry Callebaut, the world's largest chocolate manufacturer in Switzerland, and announced in September 2017. As the first new category since white chocolate 80 years ago, it shocked the chocolate industry. Its greatest feature is the natural ruby color achieved without any artificial coloring. This beautiful pink hue comes from natural components found in special ruby cacao beans grown in Brazil, Ecuador, Côte d'Ivoire, and other regions. The taste distinctly differs from traditional chocolates, characterized by refreshing raspberry-like acidity and fruity aroma, with almost no bitter taste typical of chocolate. Perfect for February's Valentine's season of love, it symbolizes modern romantic perspectives by adding innovative elements to traditional expressions of love. Its beautiful color evokes plum blossoms, expressing the strength and hope to maintain beauty even in difficult situations, like flowers blooming in severe cold.
