translated from Spanish: Ruby: the pink chocolate is already in Chile

Pa pray full of dyes, but natural: after 80 years if a new variety, discovered a pink chocolate.
The Swiss House Barry Callebaut launched this fourth flavor, which adds to the milk chocolate, white and the bitter.
They were more than 10 years of research to achieve a ‘Ruby’, a chocolate that is made from a red pods of cocoa grown in Côte d’Ivoire, Ecuador and Brazil.
The chocolate company introduced him to the world at the end of the 2017 in Shanghai. However, still not reach all markets.
In Europe the first mass products were the Kit Kat Nestle launched in the United Kingdom. In addition, Cacao Sampaka brand presented in Spain tablets and candies of the same color.
In Japan, he began to sell for the Valentine’s day of last year.
And in Chile La Fête Chocolat is producing it in a box of chocolates for rl on February 14.
Genetic modification or discovery?
According to Barry Callebaut, the discovery came when one of its experts worked in his laboratory of Louviers, in France. “One of his experiments became something unexpected”, said Bas Smit, one of its directors of marketing in an interview with AFP.
However, the process still maintains some mystery.
It is assumed that this type of chocolate “is made of carefully selected Ruby cocoa beans”, a process equivalent to the production of other varieties.
Even so it is not entirely clear whether there is a genetic modification. The truth is that it is sold as a very natural, without preservatives or colouring product.
The taste is soft and has a touch of red berries, such as raspberries.
This variety comes to revive consumption of chocolate in large markets such as Europe and the United States, where consumers want new flavors and experiences.
