Why Choose Callebaut RB1 Ruby Chocolate?

• Premium Quality: Composed of 47.3% cocoa (32.3% cocoa solids, 2.5% fat-free cocoa), sugar, cocoa butter, skimmed milk powder, whole milk powder, soy lecithin, citric acid, and natural vanilla flavoring, offering a tart, berry-like taste. Intense fruitiness with sour notes. Certified Kosher Dairy, Gluten-Free, Halal, and Non-GMO.
• Versatile Use: Medium fluidity (three-drop rating) makes it ideal for molding, enrobing, ganaches, mousses, pastry creams, glazes, ice creams, and baked goods. Perfect for ruby chocolate ganache recipes or striking decorations. Pairs well with vanilla, caramel, passion fruit, mint, rosemary, or cheeses like Camembert.
• Distinctive Flavor: Blends creamy berry yogurt and sour cherry notes with balanced sweetness, enhancing gourmet chocolate recipes. Its natural pink color adds visual appeal without artificial additives.
• Convenient Size: 2.5KG (5.5lb) bag of Callets (chips) ensures easy melting for bulk pastry needs. Tempering: Melt at 40-45°C (104-113°F), crystallize at 25-26°C (77-79°F), work at 28-29°C (82-84°F). Store at 12-20°C (54-68°F).
• Dietary Note: Contains milk and soy; may contain traces of nuts or gluten. To preserve color, adjust pH to ~4 with acidic ingredients like fruit purees when diluting with cream or water.

Effortless Gourmet Creations

Melt Callebaut RB1 Ruby Chocolate Callets to create a glossy ruby chocolate mousse or enrobe pralines with a vibrant pink finish. Its tart flavor excels in ice creams, cakes, or ruby chocolate truffle recipes, with customers praising its luxurious taste and quality, though some note its tartness may lack specific berry distinction compared to fruit-based couvertures like Valrhona’s Raspberry Inspiration. Pair with tropical fruits like mango or spices like gingerbread for bold contrasts. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent fat bloom.
