We have been sourcing Dark Chocolate buttons from Barry Colenso for many years and have often had requests for White chocolate so here it is…
After extensive taste tests, of a couple of different styles (tough job eh…), we decided on this Colombian Nevado 36.5% white chocolate.
The Ultimate White Hot Chocolate features a perfect blend of fine cocoa butter, milk solids, and sugar. It is rich in vanilla and cream flavours, offering a sweet, luscious experience that isn’t overly sugary. The cocoa butter contributes to a silky mouthfeel, melting smoothly and offering a satisfying experience with every bite, or sip. The vanilla notes elevate the chocolate, while the touch of milk solids adds depth, making it perfect for those who enjoy a delicate but well-rounded white chocolate.
The name Nevado comes from the Colombian term for “snow-capped,” referring to the purity and elegance the chocolate aims to evoke. Its high cocoa butter content gives it a luxurious sheen and an impeccable smoothness, making it a versatile ingredient in various applications.
The buttons melt with ease in whole, hot, textured milk.
We recommend using 25g of this chocolate in a 6-8oz cup. For me, this is about super high quality and a chocolate drink that is chocolaty and as luxurious as can be.
