Have you ever tried El Rey? This is IMHO the best white chocolate, for
exactly the same reasons you mention for Droste. Now, El Rey's, AFAIK, is
the only one that uses non-deodourized cocoa butter, i.e. cocoa butter that
hasn't had any flavour removed with a process similar to bleaching. It's
hardly a surprise that most white chocolate ends up tasting like wax after
going through a procedure like that.

As for Droste, perhaps they have switched to non-deodourized? But not
TTBOMK. Do try El Rey if you haven't already and see if you still prefer
Droste after that. I can tell you that the first time I tried El Rey's
white chocolate my thought was instant: "Well, this is clearly the best
white chocolate out there, without any question!"
