 ALL ABOUT CHOCOLATES


Chocolates are sweet and  it is one of the most craved foods in the world. It just melt in our mouth and tastes so good that many of us are ready to eat them at any given time. Now, one of the reason why we love chocolates is because it contain a substance called anandamide. In sanskrit , 'Ananda' means 'bliss'.
Now, when we eat chocolate anandamide present in them binds to special receptors in the brain gives us pleasure and joy.
Chocolates are obtain from cocoa beans, and these  cocoa beans have an intense bitter taste, which is mostly why they are processed to make chocolates sweeter. To make chocolate these cocoa beans are fermented, roasted and ground together to form cocoa nibs. These cocoa nibs further ground to form a paste which is called chocolate liquor. To make chocolate milk solids and sugar are added to cocoa liquor in varying proportions to get different kinds of chocolates.

TYPES OF CHOCOLATES:

There are three main types of chocolate-milk chocolate, white chocolate and dark chocolate. Everyone has their own favorite type/ flavor of chocolate. But, how much do you actually know about the different kinds of chocolates and what ingredients are used to make it.

CHOCOLATE LIQUOR

Chocolate liquor is the base of all types of chocolates. This thick, dark brown paste is created from cocoa nibs and these nibs are finely ground to a smooth texture. Chocolate liquor is 100% cocoa, with no added ingredients. Under high pressure, this paste separates into cocoa butter and cocoa powder (also known as cocoa solids). 

To make chocolate  milk solids and sugar are added to cocoa liquor in varying proportions to get the three types of chocolates i.e. milk, dark, and white chocolate.

MILK CHOCOLATE

Milk chocolate is an indulgent, melt in the mouth treat. Creamy and smooth in texture, milk chocolate is loved the world over. Firstly, chocolate producers blend milk ingredients and sugar and gently mix them with chocolate liquor and cocoa powder. This mixture is dried and becomes a milk chocolate crumbly powder.

Milk chocolate contain milk solids, sugar and cocoa solids, it contains less than 35% of cocoa solids and that's why it's called as milk chocolate.

DARK CHOCOLATE

Dark chocolate is a form of chocolate containing cocoa solids and cocoa butter. The cocoa in dark chocolate also contain antioxidants called flavonoids which may provide several health benefits such as very nutritious, powerful source of antioxidants, may improve blood flow and lower blood pressure and so on..
Dark chocolate contains more than 35% of cocoa solids and this is bitter sweet chocolate.

WHITE CHOCOLATE

White chocolate is a chocolate confection, pale ivory in color, made from cocoa butter, sugar, milk solids and sometimes vanilla. White chocolate does not contain cocoa solids, which is found in other types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate and dark chocolate.

COMPOUND CHOCOLATE

In compound chocolate cocoa butter is completely replaced with hydrogenated vegetable oil. This affects the texture of the chocolate and it doesn't melt in your mouth as it should.
Cocoa butter melts between 34° to 38° celsius  which is perfect as soon as you put it starts melting. But
this thing doesn't happen in compound chocolate because the melting point is much higher.
Due to the addition of vegetable oil, it is easy to work with.

 HISTORY OF KITKAT   Rowntree's, a confectionery manufacturer located in York, United Kingdom, patented the terms "Kit Cat" and "Kit Kat" in 1935 , and the "Kit Kat" brand was born. The original Kit Kat appeared in the 1920s when Rowntree developed a brand of boxed chocolates called "Kit Cat", despite the names not being used at the time. This trend lasted until the 1930s, when Rowntree's concentrated on its "Black Magic" and "Dairy Box" trademarks. The "Kit Cat" brand suffered as a result of the advertising of competing items and was eventually phased out. The initial four-finger bar was created after a worker at Rowntree's York Factory suggested a snack that "a man could take to work in his pack".  The bar was first offered in London and throughout Southern England on August 29, 1935 , under the name "Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp" . In 1937, the product's official name was c...

HISTORY OF HERSHEY BAR   The Hershey Bar is The Hershey Company's trademark candy bar, founded by Milton Hershey of Pennsylvania. The initial form was a square of milk chocolate. Hershey's milk chocolate candy bar was first introduced in 1900, followed by other Hershey's bars like Hershey's Milk Chocolate with Almonds in 1908. Milton Snavely Hershey, who aspired to make a new sort of caramel in the late 1880, invented the procedure for making Hershey's chocolate. Milton had previously learned how to make a soft caramel with milk while working at a candy shop, and he thought it was superior to the competition. As caramel reached its zenith and became oversaturated, Milton Hershey looked for a new major hit product in the snack and candy business. He discovered that chocolate was popular among Europeans, and Swiss chocolate with a lot of milk seemed to be especially popular among the many chocolate goods. Milton believed that chocolate was the future of confectioner...
