Get to Know White Chocolate

White chocolate ( white chocolate ) has a pale ivory white appearance. The white chocolate processing process usually requires ingredients such as cocoa butter, milk, sugar, and vanilla and is solidified at 25°C.

You can process white chocolate into a variety of dishes with a variety of looks and shapes. White chocolate can be added to with coloring or melted down to make a lovely decoration for your creations.

The Difference between White Chocolate and Regular Chocolate

At a glance it is explained that white chocolate does not have the same cocoa content as milk chocolate or dark chocolate. While the two chocolates contain cocoa mass and cocoa butter, white chocolate contains neither.

Cocoa mass adds flavor to chocolate products making them more delicious, while cocoa butter makes chocolate products feel more melted when eaten. Cocoa butter doesn't actually taste very good, so white chocolate needs flavorings like sugar and vanilla. No wonder this product has a much sweeter taste than the other two types of chocolate.

In appearance, the color of white chocolate is indeed lighter than regular chocolate. The reason is that the milk content in this product predominates, which affects the color of the chocolate. The texture of white chocolate is lighter and creamier , making it easier to work with.
