Best lists

No milk fat substitutes have been found in any of the white chocolate samples - and this is really good news for the consumer. I propose to sum up and single out the three most worthy candidates among all the applicants.

"Schogetten" - value for money

It is impossible to ignore this instance due to its several significant advantages. First, the organoleptic properties of the product are highly appreciated by the majority of consumers. Secondly, the composition is also not satisfactory: the requirements of GOST are met (cocoa butter at least 20%, milk - 15.2%, milk fat - 4.2%). The product also contains natural vanilla extract - most often manufacturers add vanillin. Thirdly, serving in portions in the form of sweets is, first of all, convenient and practical, there is no need to get your hands dirty. A tile weighing 100 g is available at a price of 73 rubles, and this is absolutely deserved for such quality.

"Air" is the best of the porous

This sample evokes the very first associations with white chocolate among most Russians. For many years, its rich milky taste and bubbles bursting in the mouth have brought joy and pleasure to both children and adults. The price of the product, at the same time, is one of the most modest - from 43 rubles for a tile of 85 g. It should be borne in mind that such a dessert is unlikely to be liked by adherents of proper nutrition - only inveterate sweet tooth will appreciate it, it is very sugar-rich.

"Lindt Excellence" - the most natural and refined

This instance looks down at all of its competitors - and is entitled to it. Carefully selected ingredients, including natural vanilla, refined taste without excessive sugaryness, exquisite shape of the bar - all this characterizes this chocolate as a premium quality product. You are not ashamed to present such a gift or to pamper yourself when you want something special.

What to look for when choosing white chocolate

When choosing white chocolate, like any other food product, we can be guided by the recommendations of friends, advertising or our own instincts. It makes sense to study the product more thoroughly before purchasing it, this will give more guarantees not to make a mistake when choosing.

• White chocolate is not healthy, it is created solely for pleasure and uplifting. To minimize harm, you should carefully study the composition. It should be free of cocoa butter substitutes, hydrogenated and confectionery fats.
• According to GOST requirements, real white chocolate must contain at least 20% cocoa butter, 14% milk powder and 3.5 milk fat. If a product does not meet these criteria, then it is no longer chocolate, but a confectionery bar.
• Make sure there are no flavor enhancers or artificial flavors. It is recommended to opt for chocolate with natural additives such as vanilla pods, chopped nuts and dried fruit.
• The surface of the tiles should be flat and smooth with a slight glossy sheen. The cut should show a homogeneous structure without inclusions and voids, unless, of course, the chocolate is porous.
