We have good news for you: besides being a source of energy, chocolate also provides nutritional benefits. Scientific studies prove that cocoa contains substances called flavonoids, antioxidants that play an important role in the body's health by fighting free radicals. Of course, we also need to consider that each organism may react differently to the foods offered or to some type of allergy to a component of the recipe. Additionally, we always recommend that any type of 'sweet' food be consumed in moderation and supported by an exercise routine.

Technically, white chocolate doesn't have cocoa liquor in its recipe, a non-alcoholic fermentation of cocoa that is the key component in the composition of other chocolates and besides giving a characteristic cocoa flavor, it helps give the product its dark color. We can say, then, that white chocolate is basically made only from cocoa butter. Milk chocolate, on the other hand, is prepared with cocoa mass, in addition to sugar, milk and other ingredients according to the specific recipe of each variety.

Excellent question! There is a legal standard that determines that to be considered chocolate, the product must have at least 25% cocoa. All our products comply with this regulation, with some having up to 70% cocoa and others close to 25%. Actually, this depends on the flavor profile of each product. For a child, 70% cocoa is something with a very strong and bitter taste, so children's recipes normally have a lower percentage.

Technically, chocolate whitening occurs for two reasons: fat bloom or sugar bloom. Here's why: these phenomena usually happen due to improper storage, exposing the product to heat or humidity. In fat bloom, when chocolate is exposed to excessive heat, part of the fat or cocoa butter melts and separates from the other ingredients, migrating to the surface. When exposed to high-humidity environments, the water deposits on the chocolate, dissolving some of the sugar which, upon re-crystallization, forms white spots. Both changes can alter the chocolate's characteristics—resulting in a whitish color, crumbly texture, or altered taste—but they do not pose any health risks.

Malt extract is a product obtained through the natural fermentation and germination of malt, which comes from barley, a cereal grain. It has many properties that make it a valuable raw material in various products. In chocolate, it is used to enhance flavor and reduce the bitterness from cocoa.

Glucose is a monosaccharide, meaning it is a simple carbohydrate that cannot be broken down into a simpler form. It is the form of sugar found in the bloodstream and is used by the body's cells to produce energy. Each gram of glucose provides 4 kcal.

Fructose is a natural sugar known as the "Fruit Sugar", found in fruits and honey. It is about 1.8 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). Each gram of fructose provides 4 kcal. Since it has greater sweetening power, smaller quantities are needed to achieve the same sweetness, resulting in fewer calories consumed. Due to its slower absorption by the body, it can be consumed by diabetics under medical or dietitian supervision, with personalized recommendations for quantity.

It is a carbohydrate found in milk, composed of: glucose + galactose.
