We don’t enter our products for awards at Ruby Hue, because the opinions we value most are those of our incredibly stylish and cool customers! Here are some of our most popular chocolates.
This complex bar reveals layers of flavour, with delicate notes of green tea, apricot jam, and a subtle balsamic funkiness.
Nestled in the lush countryside of Chanthaburi, Thailand, lies the cacao farm and cooperative run by Boom and Suriya. Together, they work with over 100 partner farmers who cultivate small quantities of cacao alongside the region’s celebrated crops of durian and mangosteen. Although the Thai government encouraged cacao production in the 1990s, it wasn’t until the rise of Thailand’s craft chocolate movement in the last two decades that Thai cacao began to earn the recognition it deserves.
We’re thrilled to showcase this origin through a bar made with the distinctive cacao grown by our friends in Chanthaburi — a chocolate that captures both the vibrancy of the land and the dedication of the farmers who nurture it.

This ultra-rare Piura Blanco bean is a unique combination of albino and Nacional genetic cacao varietals. Grown in the arid Piura Valley of north-west Peru, these white beans thrive against the odds. Despite the dry, sun-scorched climate, farmers have ingeniously harnessed Andean waterways to keep their cacao flourishing year after year.
We’ve given these beans a gentle medium roast to preserve their delicate fruitiness, while the addition of milk draws out the cacao’s natural malted depth. In hot chocolate form, it transforms into a cup that balances golden sweetness with creamy richness — indulgent yet refreshingly light.

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.
