Callebaut Ruby Chocolate Callets RB2 is the celebrated "fourth type" of chocolate — a naturally pink couverture with an intense, fresh berry-fruitiness and a smooth, creamy character.

Frequently asked questions

Is ruby chocolate artificially colored? No. The pink color and fruity tang are 100% natural and come from the ruby cocoa bean — there are no added colors or flavors.

What does ruby chocolate taste like? It is neither bitter, milky nor classically sweet. Expect a bright berry tartness balanced by a luscious, creamy smoothness.

What is the difference between RB1 and RB2? Both are Callebaut ruby couvertures. RB1 is lower viscosity (more fluid) and leans toward enrobing and coating, while RB2 has standard fluidity and is especially well suited to moulding shells, bonbons and bars.

How should I store it? Keep sealed in a cool, dry, odor-free place at 12–20°C. Avoid humidity and strong-smelling products.
