The 'Ruby Chip' cookie is being introduced across the Barry Callebaut North American portfolio and will be included in the brand's extensive 'Intense Indulgence' premium category.
“We have created a Ruby Chip designed for bakery and snack applications, such as cookies, bars, and snacks. Ruby has delivered a new taste experience for consumers in the confectionery and ice cream space, so the next obvious step was to unlock the new chocolate taste for bakery and snack consumers as well,” said Laura Bergan, director of marketing at Barry Callebaut.
Barry Callebaut claims that its dedication to and emphasis on growing the Ruby line enables food producers to use the Ruby chocolate chip in novel ways. The delicious Ruby chocolate chip cookie joins Barry Callebaut's lineup of butterscotch chips, marshmallow chips, lemon chips, and caramel aura baking chips.
