Why consumers
love ruby

Ruby is the food trend of 2019 with its unique flavor profile of berry fruitiness combined with luscious smoothness. This fourth type of cacao experience is the ultimate answer to chocolate lovers’ search for an exciting flavor experience. It's a breakthrough innovation!

Each type of chocolate answers a different consumer need. White chocolate, with its sweet, creamy flavor, is perfect for sharing experiences with friends and family. Milk chocolate satisfies our need to unwind and relax, thanks to its richness and versatility. And the bitter, strong taste of dark chocolate is an excellent way to recharge and boost our self-esteem.

Ruby answers the consumer's need for hedonistic indulgence, meaning the quest of ultimate pleasure. Its unmatched taste is an intense sensorial delight because of the tension between berry fruitiness and smoothness. Don’t just take our word for it - 

Independent research by Ipsos shows consumers’ enthusiasm about ruby.
