Callebaut Ruby Recipe RB1: The first new chocolate type for 80 years

Callebaut Ruby chocolate couverture launched to an eager audience in 2018. Made from a specially-cultivated ruby cocoa bean, it has a naturally pink colour, and a naturally-occuring slightly sharp flavour of red berries, which cuts nicely through a sweetness you would compare to that of a white chocolate. Like its Callebaut contemporaries, this chocolate is made in Belgium.

How do I temper ruby chocolate?

We’re often asked how to work with ruby chocolate. If using it for chocolate work, in its pure form, we recommend treating it like a white chocolate. . 

How do I work with ruby chocolate in desserts, etc.?

Ruby can be quirky when it meets other ingredients, so it’s recommended you work with fat-based ingredients so it doesn’t lose its colour. 

If you’re looking to make the perfect ruby hot or cold chocolate drink, don’t worry, we have a specially-created ruby chocolate drinks powder that will mean all the flavour and colour of ruby without the loss of its colour!

Callebaut chocolate is made in partnership with the Cocoa Horizons ethics and sustainability programme.
