When the silky smoothness and warm texture meet in the mouth, the wonderful taste sensation makes people feel a sense of happiness suddenly. Chocolate is suitable for pairing with wine, which may be the reason why the chocolate production process is very similar to the wine making process. Cocoa beans and wine are fermented with almost the same yeast. No wonder there are so many crazy lovers who love wine and chocolate at the same time.

If analyzed from technical terms, white chocolate does not belong to chocolate in the true sense of the word, because it does not contain cocoa beans, but only cocoa butter. From this point of view, white chocolate is easy to pair with a variety of wines.

Recommended wine pairings: Rosé Port, Ice Wine, Muscat, Orange Muscat, Moscato d'Asti, Tokaj Dessert Wine, Vintage Port, Lambrusco (Sweet or Slightly Sweet) and Brachetto d'Acqui. Cream chocolate

Real cream chocolate can satisfy even the most avid dark chocolate suitors. For example, did you know that truffle sweet syrup cream chocolate is usually made with half cream and half chocolate? This chocolate adds a small amount of extra food fat.

Recommended wine pairings: Moscatel de Setubal, Montilla-Moriles, PX Sherry, Creamy Sherry, Rasteau, Aged Porter and Rutherglen Muscat. Caramel chocolate
