White chocolate is made with cocoa butter, sugar, milk products, vanilla, and a fatty emulsifier called lecithin that holds all the ingredients together. Among these, cocoa butter is the prime ingredient used in white chocolate which provides a subtle flavour. Traditionally, white chocolate is not considered ’chocolate’ in proper sense as it does not contain chocolate solids or chocolate powder, which gives chocolates a bitter, tannic, and berry-like flavour. Rather, the quality of white chocolate is determined by its colour. Although, it is available in white, pale yellow or ivory colours, the latter two are considered superior as they tend to contain more percentage of cocoa butter.

As a result of its distinctive taste and properties, white chocolate is used in a number products such as snack-foods – chips, cookies, popcorns and cupcakes; beverages – milkshakes, coffee and smoothies; and cosmetic – wax, nail enamel and oil.
