A Brief History of White Chocolate
For years, white chocolate carried a reputation of being “not real chocolate.” As early as the 1930s and 1940s, European journals expressed skepticism toward Swiss snow-white chocolate, and even today, the debate continues. While white chocolate is made from cocoa butter, part of the same cocoa bean used in traditional chocolate, its origins were far from authentic. Early versions were little more than sugary confections, sometimes containing tapioca, Icelandic moss, and Indian arrowroot—far from the creamy, rich flavor we associate with white chocolate today.
