  •     White Chocolate
White chocolate is quite easy to identify because of its cream or ivory colour. It is made by combining sugar, cocoa butter, milk, vanilla, and lecithin (an emulsifier that helps the ingredients blend together). These ingredients provide white chocolate its sweet vanilla aroma. Good quality white chocolate found in the Toronto chocolate tour will have a rich, soft, and creamy texture- that is a characteristic that comes from its cocoa butter base and high sugar and milk content.
  •     Milk chocolate
Milk chocolate is a classic that we all know and have loved from childhood. With its light brown colors, creamy texture, and sweet flavour, milk chocolate is widely regarded as the most popular type of chocolate. It is made by combining chocolate liquor (cocoa solids and cocoa butter) with sugar, and milk. Sometimes an emulsifier, such as soy lecithin, is added to enhance its smoothness.
  •    Dark chocolate
Dark chocolate, with its notable deep brown colour, is the second most popular type of chocolate. It is even sometimes referred to as black or semisweet chocolate and is noticeably less sweet than milk chocolate. In the recent years, dark chocolate has surged in popularity due to the wide number of articles being published about the health benefits.

The new bittersweet chocolate

Bittersweet chocolate has recently gained a lot of traction as people have started to learn more about cacao and cocoa percentages. This kind of chocolate, sometimes referred to as extra-dark chocolate, was risen to popularity when people began to claim that one should eat dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or more.
