It is Real Chocolate

I have done it. I have given white chocolate a bad rap. After all, everyone knows that white chocolate is not real chocolate. It’s made from the cacao butter so not real chocolate.

White chocolate from Peru.

Recently I went to the world’s best chocolate shop, El Cacaotal/Ciclos, and was shocked to learn that the owner, a chocolate expert, likes white chocolate and sells it in her shop! She pointed out that if it has over 40 percent cacao, then it’s “real” even if it is not chocolate brown color.

One of the white chocolates has a creamy dessert flavor.

White chocolate is not my favorite, but as I have mentioned before, I don’t like chocolate. But, one learns new things and sometimes tastes change. Mine have.
