cacao and chocolate.

[Guest guest]

> What about white chocolate?

 

>From Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language:

 

----

White chocolate, a chocolate-type product made of milk and sugar that are

cooked together until highly condensed and then mixed with cocoa butter.

----

 

Cocoa butter is a fatty substance obtained from the seeds of the cacao. I

guess this means that white chocolate fall in the same category as ordinary

chocolate.

During the preparation of brown chocolate the cacao beans have to be fried,

like cofee beans. This frying process gives the brown chocolate its

distinct, slightly bitter taste. This is also what makes it brown.

 

White chocolate only contains cocoa butter, which is derived from the cacao.

This explains the difference in taste: no frying here. But it is still a

habit-forming intoxicating substance because of the presence of cacao.
