Includes a card inscribed with the birthstone message of July's ruby

Each product is delivered with a card noting the symbolic meanings of ruby, accompanied by a beautiful photo of the tart. Ruby's symbolic meanings are 'passion, courage, love, compassion, dignity, and charisma.' Known as the 'Queen of Gems,' ruby has long been cherished by royalty and nobility as a noble gemstone. It makes an ideal birthday gift for those born in July, a present for someone special, or a treasured reward for yourself.

Thoughtfully Selected Ingredients

We've paid attention not only to visual beauty but also to flavor. The tart base uses the popular 'Jewel Cassata' cream, made with whipped cream and ricotta cheese, generously mixed with nuts and chocolate. The vividly gem-cut rubies are expressed in raspberry and peach-coconut flavors. The 'bedrock' section uses muscat and caramel flavors, creating a layered appearance as if the gemstones emerged naturally from within. Enjoy the uniquely juicy and bouncy texture only possible with freshly cut amber candy.
