What is Ruby chocolate and what gives it its natural pink color?
Ruby chocolate is a fourth type of chocolate alongside dark, milk, and white. It is made from specially processed Ruby cocoa beans and gets its distinctive pink color naturally through a unique fermentation and processing method, without any added dyes or berry flavors. It was developed by Barry Callebaut and launched globally in 2017.
