-
We all love chocolates and have heard of its various types like white, milk or dark chocolate. But Nestle has gone a step ahead and is ready to give the world another variety which will sweeten Valentine’s Day even more.
Nestle will be launching a new flavour, Kit Kat Chocolatory Sublime Ruby in the Japanese markets on January 19 which is going to have a pinkish hue and a natural berry flavour that is sour yet sweet.
Nestle struck a deal with Zurich-based chocolatier Barry Callebaut, the developer of ruby chocolate who has worked with major chocolate producers like Hershey Co. and Cadbury.
The ruby chocolate owes its pink colour to a special type of cocoa bean found in Ivory Coast, Ecuador and Brazil and is naturally pink from the powder extracted during processing, reported Bloomberg.
Nestle said it offers "a new taste experience, a kind of berry flavor made from the all-natural Ruby cocoa bean with a characteristic pink hue."
It is claimed to be the first new natural colour of chocolate ever since Nestle invented white chocolate over 80 years ago.
The ruby Kit Kat will be sold in Japanese stores and online starting from January 19. The company will be selling the chocolate in South Korea too and is planning to introduce it in Australia very soon.
