About Chocolate

Chocolate is a preparation of roasted and ground cacao seeds that is made in the form of a liquid, paste, or in a block, which may also be used as a flavoring ingredient in other foods.

The earliest signs of use are associated with Olmec sites in Mexico suggesting consumption of chocolate beverages, dating from the 19th century BCE. The majority of Mesoamerican people made chocolate beverages, including the Maya and Aztecs.

The seeds of the cacao tree have an intense bitter taste and must be fermented to develop the flavor. After fermentation, the beans are dried, cleaned, and roasted. The shell is removed to produce cacao nibs, which are then ground to cocoa mass, unadulterated chocolate in rough form.

Types of Chocolate

Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate contains 50-90% cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar, with typically no milk. The higher the percentage of cocoa, the more intense the chocolate flavor and the less sweet it is.

Milk Chocolate

Milk chocolate is made by combining chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, sugar, and milk or milk powder. It has a creamy texture and sweet flavor that makes it the most popular type of chocolate.

White Chocolate

White chocolate contains cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids but no cocoa solids, giving it a pale ivory color. It has a sweet, creamy flavor without the bitterness of dark or milk chocolate.
