The melting point of cocoa butter, its primary cacao bean component, is high enough to keep white chocolate solid at room temperature.

I remember walking around in my little white blouse and skirt and tourists standing there eating their ice cream cones and watching us like the zoo had opened.”

“Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs at one go.”
—Truman Capote (1924–1984)
