II’m reading this article over a year later and wanted to toss in my 2 cents. I have found the best way to decide whether I like something is to try it. I MIGHT do a little research, if warranted, but at the end of the day, taste will decide for me. Many people have confused raspberry white chocolate with ruby chocolate. The whole point of ruby chocolate is that nothing is added to colour and flavour it. While the colour can be naturally achieved via processing a flavouring has almost certainly been added with the citric acid. Meaning ruby chocolate isn’t really much different to the similar looking chocolates that have existed for a long time, possibly worse as it doesn’t contain any real fruit. This ruby hot cocoa has a beautiful light pink color thanks to the ruby cocoa beans used to make ruby chocolate. So if you want to call something fake actually use the correct source which is white chocolate, it is fake. 100% fake as it does not come from the cocoa bean.

The only mass market product that contains ruby chocolate is the ruby Kit Kat by Nestle. This bar has added flavourings that really renders the whole point of this “new taste sensation” pointless.

This colour is probably from less fermenting. Because it’s a niche product ruby chocolate costs more although less work is involved. Similar to the difference between cocoa and cacao and why cacao is more expensive. Ruby chocolate is very similar to white chocolate as it’s mainly cocoa butter, sugar and milk. As only the one company ( callebaut) makes one variety of couverture ruby chocolate it’s not vegan. There has been talk of a vegan variety of ruby chocolate in the future but nothing is available at the moment. TLDR Ruby Chocolate Ruby chocolate is a style or distinct variety of chocolate that is pinkish or purple in colour. Barry Callebaut, a Belgian–Swiss cocoa company, introduced it as a distinct product on 5 September 2017 after beginning development of their product in 2004. [2] [3] [4] It has a pink color, and Barry Callebaut says it is a fourth natural type of chocolate (in addition to dark, milk, and white chocolate varieties). [5] [6] Some other industry experts have said that some cacao pods are naturally pink or purple in colour, and thus pink chocolate has been available before. Bideaux, K. (2018). Millennial pink: From iPhone to Rihanna. Proceedings from the Conferenza del Colore.The public interest of the pink chocolate variety has been linked to the popularity of the color pink in marketing and on social media in the 2010s, a phenomenon that is referred to as "millennial pink". [21] Commercial availability [ edit ] KitKat's Japanese Ruby Chocolate, introduced in 2018 Eating with your eyes is relevant to ruby chocolate as people (in my limited research) often say it tastes like berries and fruit. However if you taste it without looking the flavour is described as more of a tangy and sour. Difficult to respond to your only negative comments, though I do agree with most of them. I have 20 Van Houten, founded by the Dutch Van Houten family nearly 200 years ago and owned by the Barry Callebaut Group since 1998, is the first to introduce ruby chocolate in a powdered form. This is a brand new product and the hospitality sector will be the first to offer it to consumers, in particular through baristas and coffee bars. Your response seems a bit odd, since Rachel is highlighting the fact that white chocolate contains *zero* cocoa solids. In your own article you have referenced the fact that this ruby chocolate contains, at minimum, 47% cocoa solids (which I don’t think you would consider a “tiny amount”). This makes it certainly not “just less processed white chocolate”. The composition of this ruby stuff would therefore be much more analogous to milk chocolate. I would be curious about a blind taste test between this ruby chocolate and milk chocolate with the same quantity of citric acid added. My guess is that they would taste quite different, but who knows!

Ruby Hot Chocolate Is About To Launch As One Of The Biggest New Drink Trends In The Market - This latest find surprises and bedazzles with a completely new chocolate taste and colour experience, born from the ruby cocoa bean. Cocoa butter does come from the cocoa bean when the beans are ground up, they are separated into 2 parts cocoa liquor(or solids) & cocoa butter. White chocolate doesn’t include cocoa liquor and is made only from the cocoa butter portion of the bean and because it doesn’t contain cocoa liquor that’s why it’s white.Bandoim, Lana (25 November 2019). "Ruby Chocolate Is Coming: FDA Issues Temporary Permit". Forbes . Retrieved 7 March 2020. It has been debated by chocolate experts whether ruby chocolate constitutes a new variety of chocolate or if it is a marketing strategy. [18] Chocolate expert Clay Gordon stated that ruby chocolate could become as diverse as white chocolate. [19] Angus Kennedy, the editor of Kennedy's Confection magazine, disputes that ruby chocolate is a new fourth variety, saying "Yes, it's a different colour but having said that I know chocolate producers in Peru that have been producing this type of pink chocolate for years." [20] He compared the taste to a combination of white chocolate and raspberries. [20] "Now if you look at a cocoa bean casing, they're actually sort of pink and purple when you see photographs of them. So actually the natural colour for a cocoa bean can be purple so it's not unusual," he said. [20] I’m not a chocolate expert, but I’ve tasted ruby chocolate before (Chocolove brand), and it does have a hint of a berry taste. I agree the citric acid might have something to do with that. However there’s more to it than just an acidic taste, and it’s more than just the color fooling your palate. Most likely, the citric acid is accentuating any fruity undertones from the cacao, resulting in sour fruity undertones (i.e. like berries). Ingredients: Sugar, whole milk powder, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, skimmed milk powder, red beet concentrate (3%), whey powder (milk), orange carrot concentrate (0.5%), acid (citric acid), natural vanilla flavouring. The Barry Callebaut ruby chocolate is characterized by a taste that has been described as slightly sweet and sour, which is comparable to that of berries, as the chocolate's main characteristic is its acidity. [11] [10] In a comparison of the phenolic content between varieties of chocolate, ruby chocolate was rated between milk and white chocolate. [10] According to a 15-month temporary marketing permit granted by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States in 2019, ruby chocolate is defined as "the solid or semiplastic food prepared by mixing and grinding cacao fat with one or more of the cacao ingredients (namely, chocolate liquor, breakfast cocoa, cocoa and lowfat cocoa), citric acid, one or more of optional dairy ingredients, and one or more optional nutritive carbohydrate sweeteners", and it must contain a minimum of 1.5% nonfat cacao solids and a minimum of 20% by weight of cacao fat. [12] [13] Under the temporary marketing permit, the product does not contain added colouring and although it may contain antioxidants, spices, and other natural and artificial flavorings, these ingredients cannot mimic the flavors of chocolate, milk, butter, berries, or other fruit. [13] The FDA said the product meets "most of the current standards for cacao products", but "deviates from the current standards of identity for chocolate products in terms of its final composition, taste, and color".
