What does WC mean in FOOD & NUTRITION

White Chocolate is a confectionery made with cocoa butter, sugar and milk solids. It has a sweet flavor and contains no cocoa solids which makes it different from traditional chocolate.

White chocolate must have at least 20 percent cocoa butter in order to be legally labeled as such. Most white chocolate products contain between 30-35 percent cocoa butter.

No, there are key differences between the two. While both are made from sugar, vegetable oil, milk solids and artificial flavoring, white chocolate contains cocoa butter while vanilla coating does not.

No, since white chocolate does not contain any cacao or cocoa solids (which are what gives dark and semi-sweet chocolates their caffeine content), it does not contain any caffeine whatsoever.

This is usually subjective; however for those counting calories, it should be noted that because of its higher fat content (due to the high levels of cocoa butter), white chocolate has more calories than other types of chocolates.

One of the best ways to incorporate white chocolate into desserts is by making ganache out of it. The melting qualities of the high amount of fat in the product allows you to make smooth and creamy sauces, coatings and fillings that will add sweetness and subtle flavor to any dessert dish.

No special tools are required for baking with white chocolate although you may find recipes that require certain equipment such as double boilers or thermometers when dealing with tempering or working directly with melted White Chocolate. If you plan on using melted White Chocolate in a recipe make sure you stir often to ensure all ingredients stay fully incorporated throughout heating process.

White Chocolate pairs beautifully with a variety of flavors such as fruits like strawberry or raspberry; nuts like macadamia, almond or hazelnut; spices such as cinnamon or cardamom; tea leaves like jasmine green tea or oolong; herbs such as lavender or thyme; and liqueurs like Grand Marnier or Chambord.
