What makes each type of chocolate so unique?
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 chocolate 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. According to research, 38% of global consumers believe that replacing regular chocolate with Ruby chocolate will make the product more premium.1
