It’s common knowledge that there are several different types of chocolate, and everyone seems to have a favorite. Perhaps the most polarizing choice is white chocolate. Some can’t stand it, and some just can’t live without it. Regardless of which end of the spectrum you fall in, you should know these facts about white chocolate.
The Basics
The process of making white chocolate starts the same way as the one for making milk and dark chocolate. First, cacao beans are harvested from various places around the world (primarily in Africa). These beans and pulp are then set aside for fermentation. After they ferment for a while, the beans become sweet; they are then separated from the pulp and shipped to chocolate makers.
The chocolate manufacturers roast the beans, separate them from their outer layer, and crush them into small pieces called nibs. These nibs are then heated up and made into a paste that has a liquid product which becomes cocoa butter. The solid portion, appropriately named cocoa solids, is used to make milk and dark chocolate. Unlike its counterparts, white chocolate doesn’t contain any cocoa solids. To make white chocolate, chocolate manufacturers combine cocoa butter with milk, sugar, and vanilla. Since it doesn’t contain any cocoa solids, you could say that technically, white chocolate isn’t “chocolate” at all!
