Abstract
Off-notes normally associated with chocolates made from ingredients containing dairy powders can be avoided using a dry mill in connection with a modified atmosphere to reduce the particle sizes of the ingredients. The modified atmosphere may be air at a temperature of about 65° C. to about 120° C., or an atmosphere having less than about 5.0 percent oxygen.
