Nova “espécie” de chocolate tem como alvo as papilas dos millenials
Called Ruby chocolate, it is made from the Ruby cocoa bean, which is processed to showcase a characteristic natural reddish tinge. The new chocolate on the block is not milky, bitter or sweet but is very smooth and offers a berry-like fruitiness, according to Swiss manufacturer Barry Callebaut.
The company wants to target millennials – those born between the 1980s and mid-1990s – with this new chocolate that was revealed in Shanghai today. It is not yet known when Ruby chocolate will be available in stores.
