Chocolate tasting
We are planning a blind tasting of chocolate to give people an opportunity to find out more about the varieties of chocolate.
We are going to taste samples of both plain and milk chocolate.
The flavour of plain chocolate depends mainly on the variety of cocoa used and where it is grown. Other factors are the way that the beans and chocolate are processed, as well as the recipe.
Milk chocolate varies more than plain chocolate. This is because there are two ways of incorporating the milk solids. Originally milk was incorporated into chocolate in the form of chocolate crumb which is made by adding sweetened condensed milk to cocoa liquor and drying the product to below 1% moisture. The alternative is milk powder. Crumb is preferred in the UK, Switzerland, some commonwealth countries and some USA factories. UK milk chocolate tends to have a high milk content while continental milk chocolate tends to have a lower milk content.
After the tasting the products will be revealed and we can compare notes
