Cacao Barry Zephyr is the least sweet white chocolate in the Cacao Barry range, a French couverture with 34% cocoa butter and 25% milk in an 11 pound bag of pistoles. Chefs around the world reach for it when they want the rich flavor of whole milk without the sugar rush that most white chocolate brings.

The taste is an intense, fresh whole milk flavor, only slightly sweet, with creamy and vanilla notes trailing behind. The texture is extremely soft and smooth, and with 34% cocoa butter the melt is very high in fluidity, running thin as cream off a spoon. That flow lets it disappear into a ganache or mousse for pure dairy richness, churn into a silky ice cream, and still lay down the finest coating on enrobed pralines or molded bonbons. Its restraint on sugar also makes it the white chocolate of choice for pairing with caramel, pistachio, passion fruit, mango, and coconut, where a sweeter white would smother the partner.

Cacao Barry Blanc Satin (29.2%) is the sweeter, more classic white in the Cacao Barry range with a thicker melt. From Callebaut, Velvet White Chocolate Callets (32%) takes a similar low sugar approach at a lower price point, and W2 White Chocolate Callets (28%) is the sweeter, caramel toned Belgian workhorse.
