Rafa Gorrotxategi Ruby Chocolate with Strawberry – 48% Cacao 100g

Rafa Gorrotxategi, the Basque chocolatier known for precision and restraint, crafts this ruby chocolate tablet with freeze-dried strawberry pieces. At 48% cacao, it sits between dark and milk — fruity and slightly tart, with the delicate snap of a thin bar. The ruby chocolate itself is a natural cocoa variety (not artificially colored), yielding a pale pink hue and a gentle, berry-forward flavor that the strawberry accent amplifies rather than masks.

About this product

This is a single-origin, artisanal chocolate bar made in Spain's Basque Country. The combination of ruby cocoa and tart strawberry appeals to those who find conventional dark chocolate too bitter and milk chocolate too sweet. Each piece melts cleanly on the tongue, designed for savoring rather than snacking straight from the wrapper.

How to enjoy

• Eat slowly after dinner with a cup of strong coffee or herbal tea.
• Break into pieces and scatter over vanilla yogurt or whipped cream.
• Pair with a glass of rosé or sparkling wine.
• Gift to chocolate enthusiasts who appreciate subtle, fruit-forward flavors.

⭐ Why we love this

Rafa Gorrotxategi represents the Basque chocolate mastery that rivals Belgium and Switzerland — here, ruby cocoa's natural blush and tart freeze-dried strawberry echo the region's commitment to purity over artifice. This is not a novelty; it's a deliberate expression of how modern Spanish artisans honor ingredient integrity.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve with a chilled rosé from Provence or a Spanish Txakoli from the Basque coast — the wine's crisp acidity and faint berries mirror the chocolate's strawberry notes. Equally sublime with strong coffee or as a palate-cleanser after a rich Basque meal.

📍 From Spain

Crafted in the Basque Country, a region legendary for chocolate craft and gastronomic precision, Rafa Gorrotxategi sources single-origin ruby cacao and pairs it with Spanish freeze-dried strawberries to create a bar that tastes unmistakably of its terroir — delicate, intentional, and unapologetically Basque.
