Milk Chocolate 40% Cocoa

Origin:Greece

Milk chocolate with 40% cocoa is considered a "premium" version of classic milk chocolate. While regular milk chocolates typically contain 25-30% cocoa, the 40% content offers a richer and more substantial flavor , while maintaining the beloved creamy texture. 

Taste Characteristics

Rich Body: The higher cocoa content brings out notes of caramel, honey and roasted nuts, without the intense bitterness of dark chocolate. 

Less Sugar: Contains significantly less sugar than typical milk chocolates, allowing the cocoa flavors to dominate. 

Texture: Remains extremely velvety due to the milk and cocoa butter, offering a luxurious sensation that slowly melts in the mouth.

Storage Tips

Temperature: Ideally between 15°C and 18°C . Heat can cause fat to separate (fat bloom), making the surface appear dull or white. 

Odor protection: The milk in chocolate absorbs odors very easily. Store it in an airtight container or tightly sealed in its aluminum foil. 

Not in the fridge: The humidity in the fridge will ruin the texture. If you have to use it because of a heat wave, wrap it in several layers of plastic wrap and let it come to room temperature before opening.

It pairs perfectly with a hot Cappuccino , as the notes of roasted coffee enhance the 40% cocoa, or with a glass of sweet wine for a complete gourmet experience.
