Tasting notes of green banana and olive oil from this Venezuelan cacao

Description

“This stunning high-percentage bar is crafted from cacao grown on a single farm — Hacienda San Cayetano — in the northern state of Carabobo, Venezuela. The beans are fermented in wooden boxes for six days, then patio-dried under the sun to preserve their vibrant character.

We’ve roasted this origin gently at a medium temperature for a short time, creating a chocolate that is incredibly creamy and layered. Its verdant olive oil notes linger on the palate in the most satisfying way, while subtle hints of green banana bring brightness and depth. This is proper dark chocolate the way it was meant to be — bold, elegant, and genuinely delicious.”

Ruby Hue

Ruby Hue is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in Bristol, founded by pastry chef Ru and mixologist Tom. The pair originally started Ruby Hue as a pop-up, but the challenges facing the hospitality industry during the Covid-19 pandemic led them to rethink the business. After discovering the world of craft chocolate, they began learning about bean-to-bar production and eventually started making their own chocolate.

Ru brings a background in Michelin-starred kitchens, including a role as Head Chef in the Royal Box at the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Association, as well as a place in the semi-finals of Channel 4's Bake Off: The Professionals. Tom's career as a mixologist has taken him around the world and developed his interest in flavour and terroir.

Today, Ruby Hue describes itself as Bristol's first fully bean-to-bar chocolate maker. The company works with fine cacao from a range of origins, including Peru, Uganda, Guatemala and Thailand, with an emphasis on ethically and sustainably sourced cacao.
