酸甜的粉紅色巧克力登陸澳大利亞!

A brand new variety of chocolate is set to hit Australian shores and it comes in a pretty pink hue.

一種漂亮的粉紅色新型巧克力即將“登陸”澳大利亞。

Ruby chocolate is the world's "fourth chocolate". Ruby chocolate derives its unique color from the ruby cocoa bean, which is grown in Ecuador, Brazil and the Ivory Coast.

“紅寶石”巧克力是全球“第四種巧克力”。該巧克力獨特的顏色來自於產自厄瓜多爾、巴西和象牙海岸的深紅可可豆。

Powder extracted from the bean during processing is used to color the chocolate and its creators state no berries or colors have been added in the making.

加工過程中萃取自這種咖啡豆的粉末被用於爲巧克力上色，其發明者稱在製作過程中未曾添加漿果或顏料。

The chocolate's taste is described as "sweet yet sour" with "little to none" of the cocoa flavor traditionally associated with other varieties of chocolate.

據稱，紅寶石巧克力口感酸甜，幾乎沒有甚至完全沒有其他種類巧克力通常帶有的可可味。

The innovation, by Barry Callebaut AG, the world's largest cocoa processor, comes after about a decade of development.

這種巧克力是全球最大的可可加工商百樂嘉利寶的創新產品，經過約10年的研發才得以問世。

"It's natural, it's colourful, there's an indulgence aspect to it, but it keeps the authenticity of chocolate," the company's CEO told the publication. "It has a nice balance that speaks a lot to millennials."

百樂嘉利寶的首席執行官向媒體透露：“這種巧克力是天然的，色彩鮮豔。雖然它有放縱的一面，但是還是保持了巧克力的本真。它爲千禧一代找到了一個很好的平衡點。”
