Is white chocolate really considered chocolate?!


Question: Is white chocolate really considered chocolate!?
Answers:
Although white chocolate is made the same way as milk chocolate and dark chocolate - the difference is in the ingredients!.

White chocolate is made of cocoa butter, milk, and sugar!. Regulations also govern what may be marketed as "white chocolate"!. In the United States, since 2004, white chocolate must be at least 20% cocoa butter (by weight), at least 14% total milk solids, at least 3!.5% milk fat, and less than 55% sugar or other sweeteners!.

(The European Union has adopted the same standards, except that there is no limit on sugar or sweeteners)!.

However, because of these ingredients, many people - including the U!.S!. Food and Drug Administration - don't consider "white chocolate" to be chocolate at all!Www@FoodAQ@Com

well, people call it chocolate, but it actully isn't chocolate at all, it doesn't have any cocoa, Its all artifical!. So if you were allergic to chocolate (like my friend) you could eat it, but people do consider it chocolate!.!.!. idk why!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's technically not chocolate!. It's cocoa butter that's been sweetend!. So it's kind of like olive oil v!.s!. Tapenade!. Tapenade is made with olives and has olive oil in it but is a completly different thing!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends on what you believe the definition of chocolate is!. Many chefs say it is because it is made of cocoa butter!. Others insist it is not because it has no cocoa liquor!. I tend to agree with the latter!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

White and dark chocolate are chocolates that use different derivatives of the cocoa bean, that's all!. They're all rich, creamy and yummy no matter what color they are!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I consider it a chocolate,just taste different, milkier!.!.!.
