The 12 Types of Chocolate — And Why They Exist

There are 12 types of chocolate, and every one of them exists for a reason. From the milk chocolate first made in Switzerland in 1875 to the pink ruby chocolate unveiled in 2017, here is every type of chocolate broken down one by one: what it is, where it comes from, how it's made, and what it's actually used for. Along the way: why white chocolate had no legal definition in the US until 2002, why semisweet and bittersweet chocolate are legally the same thing, why the coating on many ice creams and donuts can't be called chocolate at all, and which kind is closest to the chocolate people drank for thousands of years. 0:00 Intro 0:25 Milk Chocolate 1:30 Dark Chocolate 2:36 White Chocolate 3:38 Semisweet Chocolate 4:38 Unsweetened Chocolate 5:42 Compound Chocolate 6:48 Couverture 7:49 Gianduja 8:48 Ruby Chocolate 9:47 Blonde Chocolate 10:44 Modica Chocolate 11:46 Mexican Chocolate Every video on this channel is edited by a human video editor.
