Ruby Chocolate<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Callebaut Chocolate recently presented a pink chocolate of ruby cocoa beans in China. After the\u00a0 pure (black), milk (brown) and white species, the company presented the ruby chocolate with a fruit flavor like berries. The fruity taste and pink color are naturally in the cocoa beans according to the company. Thus, without adding berries or flavors. It took 13 years for Belgian and French laboratories to develop the process to retrieve the taste and pink color from these beans. It takes another 6 to 18 months until this ruby chocolate will be on the market. So no pink chocolate letters yet from the Dutch Saint Niklas (a popular sweet gift lots of Dutch children receive on his birthday, December 6th<\/sup>).<\/p>\n
