White Chocolate – Is it Really Chocolate
White chocolate falls into the classification of “chocolate” only because of its cocoa butter content. Surprisingly, it is not considered “real chocolate” because it does not contain any chocolate liquor. It is made of sugar, cocoa butter, milk solids, sugar lecithin, and flavorings such as vanilla. It is often called confectionery or summer coating because according to the Food and Drug Administration of the United States, products labeled as chocolates should contain cocoa solids from chocolate liquor.
Chocolate liquor is the result of fermenting, drying, roasting, and grinding cocoa beans. Those that are considered to be “real chocolates” are dark chocolates and milk chocolates which contain considerable amounts of cocoa solids and chocolate liquor. However, this creamy version is still popular with people who have a preference for this sweet product. Several big names in the chocolate industry also have their own line of this form of gourmet chocolate, including Hershey’s, Cadbury, Ghirardelli, Godiva, and Nestlé, among many others.
