Types of chocolate

Let's talk about the varieties of common chocolates first, hehe.

1, tasteless chocolate board: the content of cocoa butter in tasteless chocolate board is very high, generally around 50%, and the texture is very hard. When chocolate is made as a semi-finished product, more diluents need to be added. For example, when making western pastry fillings such as chocolate stuffing and hazelnut sauce, they are generally diluted with soft oil or light cream.

2. Cocoa butter board (some are granular): it is the oil squeezed by cocoa beans and the coagulant in chocolate. Its content determines the quality of chocolate. Cocoa butter has a high melting point, about 28℃, and it is solid at room temperature. It is mainly used to make thick or dry diluted chocolate and chocolate products, such as hazelnut sauce and chocolate stuffing, which plays a role in diluting and brightening. In addition, because cocoa butter is a coagulant in chocolate, appropriate amount of cocoa butter can be added to chocolate with low cocoa butter content to increase the viscosity of chocolate and improve its demoulding quality.

Bright effect and texture.

3. Milk chocolate: Raw materials include cocoa products (cocoa liquor, cocoa powder and cocoa butter), dairy products, powdered sugar, spices and surfactants. Contains at least 10% cocoa pulp and at least 12% milk. Milk chocolate has a wide range of uses, which can be used for cake stuffing, sprinkling, word extrusion or demoulding.

Milk chocolate was originally invented by the Swiss, and it has been a patented product in Switzerland until now. Some of the best milk chocolates in the world can be divided into two categories: in Europe, after Peter and Nestor, most manufacturers also use condensed milk as ingredients; In the United States and Britain, a mixture of milk powder and sugar is used as an ingredient. The latter uses the hygroscopicity of sugar to dry itself, and because of the enzyme activity in the mixed milk powder, it produces a cheese-like taste.

4. White chocolate: It contains almost the same ingredients as milk chocolate, including sugar, cocoa butter, solid milk and spices, and does not contain cocoa powder, so it looks white. This kind of chocolate has only the fragrance of cocoa, and its taste is different from that of ordinary chocolate. Moreover, the content of dairy products and powdered sugar is relatively large and the sweetness is high. White chocolate is mostly used as icing, and can also be used for squeezing words, stuffing and cake decoration.

5. Dark chocolate: Dark chocolate board is hard and contains high cocoa butter. According to the different cocoa butter content, dark chocolate has different grades, such as: soft dark chocolate, cocoa butter content is 32-34%; The cocoa butter content of the hard chocolate for noodle spraying is 38-40%; The content of cocoa butter in superhard chocolate is 38-55%, which not only has high nutritional value, but also is convenient for demoulding and operation. Dark chocolate is widely used in snack processing, such as chocolate sandwich, noodle sprinkling, word extrusion, various decorations, various demoulding shapes, cake blanks, chocolate bread, chocolate biscuits and so on.

6. Cocoa powder: Cocoa powder is a common raw material for chocolate products. Cocoa butter content is low, generally 20%, which can be divided into tasteless cocoa powder and sweet cocoa powder. The odorless cocoa powder can be mixed with flour to make cakes, bread and biscuits, or mixed with butter to make chocolate cream. Sweet cocoa powder is mostly used for sandwich chocolate, hot drinks or sifting on the surface of cakes for decoration.
