What is <60% cocoa chocolate?
Chocolate under 60% cocoa is the sweet end of the scale. It covers most milk chocolate, by convention white chocolate, and many flavoured bars. Cocoa flavour is present but softened by sugar and, in milk chocolate, by dairy.
This is the chocolate most people grow up on. The lower cocoa share leaves room for sugar, milk and inclusions, so the focus shifts from origin character to texture, sweetness and add-ins. That does not make it lesser, it is simply a different goal: comfort and crowd appeal rather than tasting-bar nuance.
Craft makers work here too. A thoughtful milk chocolate or caramelised white can be every bit as considered as a dark bar, using better milk, real vanilla and properly fermented beans instead of relying on sugar alone.
