Then here’s the trick: only eat a small piece at a time, like 1 square inch. Savor it. Don’t immediately follow it with anything. Let the flavor completely leave your mouth on its own before you have anything else.
Wow I didnt know that this is such an unpopular opinion. There’s nothing wrong with liking white chocolate.
Liking white chocolate doesnt mean not liking chocolate. When i want sth sweet, i prefer white chocolate, but I’m also a fan of dark chocolate (60%-80%).
What! I mean, yes, it is pretty unproductive. But occasionally, incredibly rarely, debating taste leads to a phenomenal new innovation, some new understanding. Just not among non-chefs I guess
Most white chocolate in the USA is bullshit. Real white chocolate is cocoa butter, sugar and an emulsifier. Most of the USA is soy, an emulsifier, vanilla, and sugar.
In think that’s the point. Most people on here soon to be American and so are basing their opinion on American chocolate (which is disgusting awful regardless of type)
As a Belgian I consider myself a bit of an ambassador on chocolate and after discussing this with all my fellow countrymen we came to the unanimous conclusion that you are wrong. Please apologize and remove this post.
In the US, we’ve gotten some really good chocolate over the last couple of decades and I’ve mostly avoided Hersheys over that time. We especially have some excellent dark chocolates. Your “bad chocolate” stereotype was all too true and may still be on average, but things are changing.
High amounts of criollo beans can grant a sour taste if I recall correctly particularly if they are lower quality as can the method you choose for conching (one of the steps in chocolate making) that Milton Hershey created. If they are thinking of something like Hershey’s Special Dark that has a bit of that sourness to it.
Not the Belgian but Ive been baking with chocolate and making truffles for years. Look for anything that is based on cocoa butter rather than sugar and vanilla. Hopefully it is very fresh as cocoa butter goes rancid pretty quickly.
My top choice was El Rey from Venezuela which is not found in the USA anymore for bullshit reasons. Callebaut and Valrhona are quite good as well.
