TYPES OF CHOCOLATE
Chocolate liquor, sometimes referred
to as unsweetened chocolate, is the base of all types of chocolate.
This thick, dark brown paste is created from cacao nibs, the inside of
the cocoa bean. The nibs are finely ground to a smooth texture. When
heated, this paste turns to a liquid that can be formed into bars or
chips. Chocolate liquor is 100% cocoa, with no added ingredients.

White chocolate is made by combining
sugar, cocoa butter, milk, vanilla, and lecithin (an emulsifier that
helps the ingredients blend together). These ingredients give white
chocolate its sweet vanilla aroma. White chocolate is unique because
it does not contain any cocoa solids. The cocoa solids are what give
chocolate it’s dark brown color and chocolatey taste that we all know

In recent years, Dark chocolate has
surged in popularity thanks to a number of articles being published
about the health benefits. Dark chocolate is fairly simple in
composition. It is typically made from two ingredients — chocolate
liquor and sugar. Most high-quality, dark chocolate does not contain
added dairy and can be a great vegan-friendly chocolate. The lack of
dairy and less sugar gives dark chocolate firmer texture than milk
chocolate or white chocolate.

Bittersweet chocolate has gained a lot
of traction recently as people started to learn more about cacao and
cocoa percentages. This kind of chocolate, sometimes referred to as
extra-dark chocolate, rose to popularity when people began claiming
that you should eat dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or
more, in order to get the most health benefits.

In 2017, a fourth type of chocolate,
Ruby chocolate was discovered by
Belgian chocolate maker, Barry Callebaut. With its red-pink hue, this
distinctive chocolate is noticeably different than its other chocolate
counterparts. It is not colored white chocolate, but rather a color
derived from a specific type of cacao — the ruby cocoa bean (a bean
typically grown in Ecuador, Brazil, and the Ivory Coast).
