Exploring the Richness of White Chocolate
The origins of white chocolate are not clear; however, according to The Chocolate Museum, the consensus is that Nestle started producing it in 1936 to use excess milk powder during World War I.

Delving Deeper into White Chocolate Varieties
The origins of white chocolate are not clear; however, according to The Chocolate Museum, the consensus is that Nestle started producing it in 1936 to use excess milk powder during World War I.
Making this begins much like making other kinds of chocolate: fermenting and roasting dried cacao beans. The husks are then removed and winnowed, and cacao butter is pressed from the nibs. After this process, any dark-coloured solids are removed from the fat, enabling the flavours of the creamy cocoa butter to reveal themselves. Additional ingredients such as vanilla, milk, and sugar are typically added to the cacao butter alongside any number of other components. The taste of white chocolate can vary from nutty to fruity, depending on the origin of the cacao beans.
While it is made from the same cacao used to make dark chocolate and milk chocolate, since it is made solely from the fat of the cacao seed, it is not technically considered chocolate but rather a confectionary—or a flavour-infused cacao butter candy, if you will. Regardless of how you categorize it, white chocolate makes a rich, creamy, sweet, decadent snack, treat, or dessert any day of the week.
This variety is especially popular among the younger generation, with nearly 17% of millennials ranking it as their favourite, a full 7% higher than the general population.
Discover the Diverse Varieties of White Chocolate
Like its darker counterparts, white chocolate is extremely versatile and makes the perfect blank canvas for all types of pairings. Some common additions include:
- Berries
- Caramel
- Citrus (lemon/lime/orange)
- Coconut
- Coffee
- Green Tea
- Hazelnut
- White Chocolate & MatchaPeppermint
- Saffron
- Vanilla
Vegan white chocolate is another popular and delicious option. It is free from dairy, lactose, and animal products and is ideal for vegetarians and vegans, but it is just as enticing to non-vegans.
Why Choose Our White Chocolate: Final Reflections
Always pay attention to the ingredients panel of the product you're considering buying to ensure it's authentic. This is important because many products on the market are labelled as such but are made from other, cheaper vegetable fats, like palm kernel oil. Real white chocolate should always have a cacao butter base.
