The sweets lover who wants to trade the strong taste of dark and milk chocolate with a more subtle one, has the delicious alternative of white chocolate. In order to be recognized as chocolate, this tasty confection has gone through its own fight with syntax. Lacking the main chocolate liquor, paste or powder ingredients, it has not been recognized for a long time as part of the proud chocolate family. However, those who crave the cocoa beans wonders will be relieved to know that the mixture still bears a faint taste of chocolate, thanks to the cocoa butter incorporated in its recipe.

White chocolate is a combination of cocoa butter, milk, sugar and other flavoring ingredients. Marketed in the early 20th century as “vanilla chocolate,” white chocolate has later opened itself to more than one flavor. What it lacks in ingredients, it gains in looks. This white confection is an elegant, clean-looking treat that, combined with other chocolates, creates not only a culinary, but also a visual feast. Those to whom dark or milk chocolate are forbidden fruits because of their high amount of caffeine, will find this alternative a great way to calm their chocolate hunger without the side effects of cocoa solids ingredients.

The white type of chocolate is relatively young, first produced only after World War I. Determined to continue the short history of this treat, the Serenata boxes of high quality white chocolate boast this ivory creation in an elegant presentation. If you are enamored with chocolate, do not feel you are cheating on your love. This angelic-colored alternative will definitely take a place on the list of your sweet preferences.
