PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Callebaut Ruby RB2 (box of 4) is the next-generation ruby chocolate couverture created to “unleash more spark” in both flavor and color. Expect a heightened fruity profile with tangy, sour notes and a richer, more vibrant ruby hue—all achieved naturally from ruby cocoa beans, with no artificial colorants or fruit flavorings.

Formulated for professional kitchens, RB2 comes in easy-melt Callets™ and is built for all-round applications. With 33% minimum cocoa solids, 36% fat, and 21% minimum milk solids, it offers reliable handling for molding, enrobing, ganache, mousses, glazes, and pastry creams—so you can keep the signature ruby color and bright acidity front and center.

Ruby chocolate also behaves a bit differently than classic dark/milk/white: its natural acidity means the color can soften when mixed with water-based ingredients (like dairy), which is normal. Pairing with fruit acids (citrus, red fruits) or balancing pH can help keep that lively ruby look in finished applications.
