Swiss chocolatier Daniel Peter invented milk chocolate in 1875. Since then, it has become one of the most popular types
of chocolate in the world. But do you know exactly what goes into this meltingly textured and indulgent chocolate?
Like dark and white chocolate, milk chocolate is made from cocoa and sugar. It differs from dark chocolate because of
the powdered milk that is added to its basic ingredients.
At Valrhona, recipes are developed after one or two years of research by R&D engineers, with the help of our sensory
analysis panel. Today, we make more than 100 different chocolate recipes (black, white, milk and even blond). Their
ingredients have to be precisely quantified to bring out each chocolate’s unique qualities.
