Is white chocolate real chocolate?!


Question:

Is white chocolate real chocolate?


Answers:
White chocolate contains no cocoa liquor (ground cocoa solids), only cocoa butter, therefore it is not chocolate.

yea

yea i`m guessing., or else they wouldn't call it white chocolate would they?

Guess so, it tastes pretty good doesn't it? wonder how they make it white?

Nothing can be more real than regular chocolate.. it tastes more chocolatish and is!

I consider it chocolate even though I prefer black chocolate. Its as if you were asking ''Is Dark chocolate real chocolate?''. Why wouldn't it be?

no it doesnt have cocoa in it. I forget all the details but I know that its not.
Milk chocolate has milk added to it thats why its lighter.
Dark chocolate hasnt had the milk added so it stays dark.

white chocolate is chocolate that hasn't been cooked.when it comes out of the coco seed ,it is white ,butwhen you cook it,it turns brown

I think white choclate is gross..
Choclate is brown;.but i dont know..
I would prefer dark choclate

Chocolate = cocoa butter + cocoa. White chocolate has no cocoa, but has cocoa butter. White chocolate is chocolate-derived, not a full chocolate.

Love me some dark chocolate.

White chocolate actually has the same texture and consistency as (Brown) chocolate but without the cocoa. That is why it is called white chocolate. White chocolate does NOT contain any of the "good stuff" that is associated with regular chocolate.
Hope this help you.

no it is not real chocolate it is man made,unlike chocolate

No. It's vanilla and cocoa.
They call it white chocolate because there's cocoa in it.
But it's not real chocolate. It's actually vanilla

yea

There is no cocoa in white chocolate so technically it is not considered a real chocolate. Many people consider it a chocolate anyway though.

No.

Although there is not yet a formal definition, white chocolate contains cocoa butter but no non-fat cocoa solids. Mostly used as a coating, it contains sugar, cocoa butter, milk solids and flavorings. Not really "chocolate" since no chocolate solids other than cocoa butter are present. Sweet, milky dairy flavor with a hint of chocolate from the cocoa butter. Color ranges from pure white to yellow-white. Used for candy bars; baking chips; bakery coating.
National Confectioners Association & Chocolate Manufacturers Association

The FDA established rules for labeling white chocolate which went into effect on January 1, 2004. The rule states that a product labeled and marketed as white chocolate must contain at least 20 percent cocoa fat, 14 percent milk solids and 3.5 percent milk fat, and not more than 55 percent sugar (or other nutritive carbohydrate sweetener).

White chocolate is a confection of sugar, cocoa butter, and milk solids. Unlike chocolate, white chocolate contains neither chocolate liquor nor cocoa solids. White chocolate does typically include lecithin as an emulsifier, and certain flavorings, particularly vanilla or vanillin. The low melting point of cocoa butter allows white chocolate and chocolate to remain solid at room temperature, yet melt easily in the mouth. As such, white chocolate has a texture similar to that of milk chocolate, and through the use of undeodorized cocoa butter, retains some degree of its flavor.

Yes according to the FDA (proposed in 1997, approved in 2002 and effective in 2004)

There is a lot of other old and outdated information about this on the web, but everyone in the industry knows that real white chocolate contains cocoa butter while the cheaper confectioners coating contains vegetable oil.
