Is chocolate powder and cocoa powder the same?

El chocolate en polvo y el cacao en polvo se elaboran a partir de granos de cacao y son comunes en la vida cotidiana. También son similares en color y olor. Pero no son exactamente iguales, existen algunas diferencias entre ambos.

The difference in cocoa butter content

First, they contain different amounts of cocoa butter.

Cocoa powder is only 10 to 35 percent cocoa butter, but chocolate is 100 percent cocoa butter, so chocolate gives a stronger, purer, and more flavorful taste.

De hecho, la manteca de cacao es uno de los factores clave en la calidad del chocolate. La manteca de cacao pura y natural le da al chocolate una sensación de derretirse en la boca, mientras que la manteca de cacao sustituta (también conocida como manteca de cacao artificial) hace que el chocolate tenga un sabor menos delicioso.
