Why Chocolate Became the Language of Love
Chocolate has long represented pleasure, celebration, and comfort. Its silky texture and slow‑melting richness feel luxurious—perfect for expressing love. Over the years, Valentine’s Day chocolate gifting evolved from simple sweets to curated gifts that show real care.
What Exactly Is Ruby Chocolate?
Ruby chocolate is celebrated as the “fourth type of chocolate,” joining dark, milk, and white. Its blush‑pink color comes naturally from ruby cocoa beans, not from dyes or added fruit.
A Natural Pink Chocolate
Ruby chocolate is:
Made from rare ruby cocoa beans
- Naturally pink—no artificial colors
- Not flavored white chocolate
- Not berry‑infused or dyed
Its color is a result of careful processing that preserves the bean’s natural pigments.
A Sensory Flavor Experience
Ruby chocolate is known for:
- Bright, berry‑like notes
- A gentle, refreshing tartness
- A creamy, smooth texture
It tastes sophisticated yet playful—vibrant without being overly sweet.
At Steiner & Kovarik, ruby chocolate retains all‑natural cocoa butter. It results in a more refined taste than sugary commercial chocolates.
Ruby chocolate offers a new way to experience cacao—fresh, fruit‑forward, and perfect for Valentine’s Day chocolate gifts that feel thoughtful and elevated.
