Chocolate company unveils new type of chocolate

MANILA, Philippines – Everyone knows there are 3 types of chocolate: dark, white, and milk – but now, the scientists at Swiss chocolate manufacturer Barry Callebaut have added a fourth type: ruby.

The new chocolate is very on trend with its pink shade. Interestingly enough, according to Barry Callebaut, the color, as well as the fruity flavor of the chocolate is all natural.

“The fourth type in chocolate offers a totally new taste experience, which is not bitter, milky, or sweet, but a tension between berry-fruitness and luscious smoothness. To create Ruby chocolate, no berries or berry flavor, nor color, is added,” the company said in a September 5 press release.

The chocolate is derived from the ruby cocoa bean, where the berry flavor and reddish color occur naturally.

There is no word yet on when exactly ruby chocolate will be available to consumers and chocolate manufacturers, but if the current public obssession with anything millennial pink is any indication, ruby chocolate will be flying off the shelves as soon as it’s released. – Rappler.com
