LOOKING AFTER OUR CHOCOLATE
-
To enjoy them at their best, our chocolates
should be kept in a cool dark place (Max 85°F)
and consumed within 7 days. If the storage
temperature exceeds
75 °F, some of the cocoa
butter may appear on the surface, causing the
chocolate to develop a whitish cast, known as
"bloom". The chocolate will still, however, be
fine to eat.
It can also be
kept refrigerated for up to 28 days, although
this isn’t ideal as the chocolate may absorb
odors from other foods. If you wish to
keep them longer they can be safely frozen.
NOTE: refrigeration or freezing may cause
discoloration or a bloom on the chocolate, this
is caused by a change in temperature and/or
humidity and is quite harmless.
Dark chocolate
actually improves with age, like a fine wine, if
stored in an airtight container at 60-65°F.
