Is white chocolate real chocolate?
White chocolate contains cocoa butter — the fat pressed from cacao beans — plus sugar and milk, but no cocoa solids, which is why it has no brown color or roasted flavor. Since cocoa butter comes from the bean, it is genuinely a chocolate product; it just expresses the bean's fat rather than its solids.
Craft white chocolate is rare (58 of our 2,128 bars) but worth seeking: made with undeodorized cocoa butter, it keeps subtle fruity and floral aromatics that industrial white chocolate strips away.
