French pastry chef Frederic Bau accidentally created "blond" chocolate during a demonstration in Japan, when he left white chocolate warming for four days. The unique flavor, described as a mix of caramel and toasted, took seven years to perfect and is now sold as "Dulcey" by Valrhona. The "blond" variety faces competition from a pink Swiss chocolate, as both countries vie for the title of the fourth chocolate type.
