White Chocolate Buying Guide

In a number of countries “white chocolate” isn’t actually classed of chocolate as their isn’t actually any cocoa solids in it – only the milk and butter. The problem with this is that its typically “fattier” than dark chocolate.

The flavours are generally milder and less obtuse, however its often a great deal sweeter than other forms of chocolate and it seems to be very popular with children.

If the truth be told, white chocolate is my least favourite of all the types of chocolate. However, once in a while I come across chocolatiers that make really nice white chocolate. One of my current favourites at the moment is James Chocolates who do some very nice, flavoured white chocolate such as the Lemon Zest & Poppy Seed bar and the Strawberry & Black Pepper Bar . However, the large chocolate producers also do a very good job when it comes to making white chocolate. Thorntons have made a plain Fairtrade organic white chocolate bar which is pretty good. But most of you would have come across white chocolate in the form of the Cadbury’s Dream Bar or the Milky Bar.

Personally I like to leave white chocolate on the shelves – but it’s up to you what you like if you did like it then you can buy white chocolate in our chocolate shop.

Too much chocolate is encased in clear cellophane. For some, needs must. But when you remove the top of a

Schell Blanche Saffron Curry

The company behind this saffron and curry spice white chocolate bar look great. They’re small, third generation and look to be offering something unique. I just wish I purchased one of their other bars of chocolate than this white one.

It’s a shame that you can’t buy these online any more as they’re nice, but not as enjoyable as most of their other truffles that I’ve enjoyed.

Divine White Chocolate And Strawberry Hearts

Unusually, these white foil-wrapped hearts chocolate were actually pretty nice. Perhaps I wouldn’t reach for them as I do dark chocolate when I’m working and need a distraction. But still, they were a lot nicer than I thought they’d be.

This Artisan du Chocolat Gingerbread Cookies White Chocolate is quite possibly my most favourite white chocolate bar of all time. I know its sweet, but unlike the others, there are various interesting flavours going on that seem to mitigate the sweetness.

Who would have thought it? A bar of white chocolate that I thought was absolutely fantastic? Well Amedei have come up trumps with this bar as they mix pistachios with white chocolate that is far from excessively sweet.

Is there any white chocolate that actually tastes nice and doesn’t take you back to those teenage days of feeling like you’ve over-indulged on cheap chocolate? Well yes, even though its white chocolate it still was very nice.

Thorntons Cloudly Lemonade White Chocolate

August 8, 2011October 22, 2017 Lee McCoy 0 Comment

When one things of white chocolate I’m sure many would think of an intense sugar and vanilla flavour. But with this bar that combination of flavours is kept to a minimum. Instead there is a fresh earthiness to it which was very pleasant.
