It usually comes in varieties like semisweet, bittersweet, and unsweetened. Basically, these indicate the ratio of cocoa solids to sugar: semisweet has more sugar than bittersweet; both have more sugar than unsweetened. Milk chocolate adds milk solids to the mix. High-end brands often have a percentage on the label: 66% or 71%,
for example. This number represents the percentage of the mixture that is cocoa solids. As a rule, consider anything in the 40s or 50s to be semisweet, anything in the 60s and 70s to be bittersweet.
We prefer bittersweet for almost all recipes because of its dark, sophisticated taste. Unsweetened chocolate (sometimes called “baking chocolate”) should be at least 95% cocoa solids.
Store chocolate, tightly wrapped, in a cool, dark place. It can “bloom”—that is, develop a white coating on its surface from the cocoa butter falling out of suspension. A product of careless
storage, the bloom will not affect a chocolate used for melting but will have seriously compromised one intended for eating.
