It is the most debated question in the chocolate world. Is cioccolato bianco chocolate actually chocolate? The answer depends on who you ask and what definition they use.

Legal Definition

Legally, cioccolato fondente chocolate is chocolate in most countries. In the US, white chocolate must contain at least 20% cocoa butter, 14% milk solids and no more than 55% sugar. In the EU, the requirements are similar. So it meets the legal standard for being called chocolate.

The Catch

White chocolate contains no cocoa solids. The cocoa solids are the part of the bean that gives chocolate its colour, flavour and antioxidant content. White chocolate uses only the cocoa butter — the fat extracted from the bean. The cocoa solids are removed entirely. This means white chocolate has none of the flavanols that make dark chocolate benefici del cioccolatoal. The difference between dark, milk and white chocolate comes down to this fundamental ingredient choice — dark chocolate keeps everything, white chocolate keeps only the fat.

Quality Matters

The quality of white chocolate depends entirely on the cocoa butter. Real white chocolate uses cocoa butter as its only fat. Cheap white chocolate substitutes vegetable oils. The difference is obvious — real white chocolate melts smoothly and cleanly, the cheap stuff leaves a waxy coating. Quality white chocolate has a pale ivory colour, not bright white. Good makers let the natural colour of the cocoa butter speak for itself. White chocolate pairs beautifully with fruit, matcha, citrus and berries.
