Exceptional flavor and appearance starts with using quality ingredients. Use Callebaut RB1 Ruby couverture Callets™ to bring tart, fruity flavor and an optimal shine and snap to your confectionaries! Made using ruby cocoa beans, these Belgian couverture Callets™ feature an intense fruitiness with fresh, sour notes and a red-pink color and do not contain any added colors or fruit flavorings. Its balanced sweetness ensures the couverture's taste will work across different applications and with a wider range of flavors and ingredients. Because the couverture features a medium fluidity for all-around application, these Callets™ can be used for virtually all of your chocolate work from confectionaries, desserts, and baked goods to ice cream and gelato. While the flavor pairings are truly endless, the couverture pairs exceptionally well with sweet flavors like vanilla and caramel, fruity flavors like passion fruit and pineapple, and herbal flavors like mint and rosemary.

Essential for any bakery, chocolate shop, cafe, or gelateria that uses the finest products, these Belgian ruby couverture Callets™ deliver on the quality and consistency you're looking for. Temper these Callets™ to craft signature tablets, enrobe pralines and toffee, or to create hollow molds for bonbons with a hard shell, nice satin gloss, and the perfect snap. You can also use these to create a velvety mousses, pastry creams, and dessert sauces, or a smooth, creamy gelato.

To achieve its perfectly balanced taste, this couverture is made with a blend of cocoa beans from Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Ecuador. Once the beans have been properly fermented, sun-dried, and selected, they are shipped to Callebaut's state-of-the-art facility in Belgium to undergo quality checks and begin the lengthy process of becoming couverture. First the beans undergo whole bean roasting, which means they are roasted in the shell. This helps to preserve and develop the delicate flavors and aromas of the cocoa beans. After roasting, the cocoa nibs are separated from the shell and then ground into a fine cocoa liquor, where it is then mixed with premium ingredients to create a couverture dough. Next, the dough is refined and then conched to develop the dough into a liquid as well as unify and balance the flavors. Lastly, the couverture is tempered and molded into the Callets™ to be used for endless possibilities!

Crafted in Belgian from bean to bar since 1911, Callebaut's Finest Belgian Chocolate delivers unparalleled workability with the most balanced taste on the market, which is why it is preferred by most chefs around the world.
