Milk Chocolate
To some aficionados, milk chocolate is not really chocolate, but increasingly, there are good brands around even though they may be difficult to find.
A good brand will have a cacao solid content of around 40 per cent.
Mass-produced milk chocolate has a high sugar content, often up to 50 per cent, 5 per cent of vegetable fat, used as a substitute for expensive cacao butter, and artificial flavouring.
White Chocolate
It is basically cacao butter without any cacao solids, with some added sugar, flavouring and milk. It is mainly sold for its novelty value and provide attractive colour contrast in chocolates.
Appearance
Smooth, brilliantly shiny and pure mahogany-black in colour.
Smell
Should not smell excessively sweet
