The Rio Tigre Valley of NorthEastern Peru has some of the most rare cocoa beans in the world. Here at the headlands of where the mighty Amazon River begins and flows East into the thick jungles of Brazil, the lucky explorer can experience a true ecological chocolate heaven. This is the original chocolate growing region. Made from exceptional quality Grade AA cocoa butter and the best milk, Santa Barbara White Chocolate Wafers are unsurpassed in flavor and quality paying tribute to the taste of the Amazon's rich chocolate heritage.

Pure prime pressed cocoa butter is the ingredient that makes our white chocolate the best white chocolate. The cocoa bean when pressed will provide cocoa butter and cocoa fiber as the two ingredients.  The cocoa butter mixed with sugar and milk will make white chocolate. The cocoa fiber if ground after pressing will offer cocoa powder. If the cocoa bean is not pressed but rather just ground, it will make chocolate liquor.  Real white chocolate is a cocoa product. Pure Cocoa butter (the type we use as an ingredient in making our white cocoa recipe) contains natural cocoa antioxidants and also offers the cocoa butter healthy fatty acids such as stearic acid and palmitic acid.

White chocolate origin and history

White chocolate is a new culinary invention when compared to dark chocolate. White chocolate made its first appearance in Switzerland in 1930. A Swiss chocolate company looking to use cocoa butter resulting from pressing cocoa powder, launched the new white chocolate. Because of the smooth, creamy texture and milky flavor, white chocolate became very popular. You'll find our White Chocolate Wafers to be true to the original Swiss chocolate recipe from 1930.

Making white chocolate

Unlike dark or milk chocolate, white chocolate does not contain cacao fiber, but rather cacao fat. Cacao fiber is the dark part of cocoa beans. White chocolate is an ingredient mix of cocoa butter, powdered or condensed milk, sugar and vanilla. The Food and Drug Administration in 2004 set the standards of white chocolate, having at least 20% cocoa butter, 15% milk powder and not more than 55% sweetener (commonly sugar). If these FDA standards aren't met, the white dessert is called white confection or white compound.
