Piura Blanco 60% | Passion Fruit Milk Chocolate Bar | 70g
A 60% chocolate made with Piura Blanco cacao from northern Peru, combined with a small addition of passion fruit. The base carries the natural fruit profile of the bean, with the inclusion used to extend rather than reshape it.
Piura Blanco is a pale, Nacional-linked variety grown in the dry Piura Valley, known for its naturally fruit-forward character and creamy structure. Milk powder softens the profile further, creating a slower melt and fuller body, while passion fruit adds a light, acidic lift.
The result stays close to the character of the cacao, with the added fruit working in line with what’s already there.

Ruby Hue is a Bristol-based craft chocolate brand focused on small-batch, bean-to-bar production and bold flavour development. Founded by Ruth “Ru” Scanlon and Tom Hughes, the company brings together high-level pastry training and international mixology to create chocolate with a strong emphasis on origin and pairing.
Ru built her career in Michelin-starred kitchens, later becoming Head Chef at the Wimbledon Royal Box and reaching the semi-finals of Bake Off: The Professionals. Tom’s background in global bartending and competition mixology adds a complementary approach centred on balance and flavour layering.
Originally launched as a pop-up, Ruby Hue formally took shape in 2020, pivoting into full bean-to-bar production during a challenging period for hospitality. Rather than relying on pre-made chocolate, the founders invested in learning the full process—from sourcing cacao to in-house production.
Now recognised as Bristol’s first dedicated bean-to-bar chocolate maker, Ruby Hue works with ethically sourced cacao from regions including Peru, Uganda, Guatemala, and Thailand. The brand positions itself around transparency, craftsmanship, and a clear focus on flavour-led chocolate designed for modern retail.
