What is "bittersweet chocolate"?
Bittersweet chocolate is a type of chocolate that is known for its intense and rich flavor. It is made from a combination of cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar, and has a higher percentage of cocoa solids than other types of chocolate, typically ranging from 60% to 90%. Bittersweet chocolate is less sweet than milk chocolate and has a slightly bitter taste, which is a result of the higher percentage of cocoa solids. It can be enjoyed on its own as a sweet and satisfying snack, or can be used as an ingredient in a variety of desserts, such as cakes, cookies, and brownies. Bittersweet chocolate is often favored by professional bakers and pastry chefs for its depth of flavor and versatility in creating indulgent and luxurious desserts. It is widely available in grocery stores and specialty stores around the world.
