Cocoa - brown powder from the cacao plant

Cocoa Butter - fat from cacao beans

Coverture - professional grade chocolate, at least 32% cocoa butter; "coverture" refers to the use of this type of chocolate as the outer layer for expensive candy

Ganache - a cream and chocolate filling often used in cakes

Milk Chocolate - 10% or more chocolate liquor + 12% milk solids + sugar + cocoa butter + vanilla

Semisweet Chocolate - same as milk chocolate with higher per cent of chocolate liquor

Sweet chocolate - made of at least 15% chocolate liquor plus cocoa butter and sweetener

White Chocolate - same ingredients as milk chocolate without the chocolate liquor - despite the minimum 32% cocoa butter, this isn't real chocolate

More cocoa and less sugar mean better chocolate.  Modern Baking's Klaus Tenbergen, a Certified Master Baker, defines quality grades by per cent of cocoa:

 
average           35%
good           43%
really good           55%
"real triumph"           60%+
 

"There is nothing better than more chocolate."  Unknown
