New type of chocolate discovered

Eighty years since the introduction of white chocolate; the newest type of chocolate, Ruby, is taking the world by storm.

We have had milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate to tease our taste buds for the last few centuries but 2017 saw the newest type of chocolate debut on the world stage. Ruby chocolate was invented by Swiss confectionery giant, Barry Callebaut.


Ruby chocolate gets its name from the ruby cocoa beans that are found on the Ivory Coast, Brazil and Ecuador. The exact process is top secret but what can be revealed is that the ruby cocoa bean possesses all the right qualities to produce this new and unique confectionary. Described as gaining its special colour from the unfermented cocoa beans, Barry Callebaut also assures chocolate lovers that ruby chocolate contains no genetically modified beans, artificial colourings or flavourings.

The lucky chocoholics who have tasted the now world famous pink chocolate have said that the experience is like nothing they’ve ever tasted before. The flavor is sweet but sour with a berry taste similar to a cross between strawberries and raspberries.


Consumers will not have to wait long to get their hands on this tasty sensation. Folks in Australia, Japan and the UK have already satisfied their curious taste buds with a selection of the pink wonderment and more countries are expected to be rolling out ruby chocolate products later this year.
